3.

You've said goodbyes to those,

You dreamt to be with lifelong,

No matter how strong you act,

You've silenced your sobs with pillows at night,

Though it has already been so long,

You still listen to sad songs with teary eyes,

You're still reminded of him when the lyrics make complete sense to you,

You still tell yourself that it'll all be okay soon,

but you wouldn't stop reading stuff that remind you of him.

That's love,
That's called being lovesick,
And you need to stop lying to yourself,
Because love never heals over time.
