The Reason

I know I hurt you and that is something I will have to live with for the rest of my life. 

but you hurt me first. 


At least I only lied to you in the end

to protect you from the truth


and not throughout like you did

with no reason but to protect yourself.


You loved me, or so you say. 


You still do and that's okay 

because feelings never truly go away

but you surely don't know what love is.
