It’s not that I didn’t love you,
It’s quite the opposite actually,
It’s that I loved you as soon as you kissed me under the oak tree in my
best friend’s yard,
It’s that I loved you since Mother Nature granted me the privilege to
love
It’s that I tasted my first broken heart with you,
And it took me sixth months to recover after,
I was haunted by the possibility it was never love at all, because I was a
child,
It was the summer of ’08, and it was beautiful,
I remember sitting outside your house for four hours waiting for you to
come home from your trip,
But she came out and told me you weren’t coming homeYou’re father had fallen in love there,
You were going to be a brother,
I waited for the call.
It took nearly five years to come.
Now you’re always two hours behind me,
And sometimes I find myself waking up from a dream in tears,
But I cannot call,
Two hours later, I’ll be calm again,
The panic attacks never last longer than a few moments.
It happens to be the fact that no matter how hard I try to distance myself you remind me of the person I
fell in love with
That only lasts a few moments too.
It’s not that I do not love you, my love.
It’s quite the opposite actually.
