How Do You Fall Out Of Love? Poem by shannon wright

falling out of love
is it slow and burdensome
or can it happen with one unexpected lie?
what do you do when you realize
the one who’s laying beside you
isn’t the one you love..
and how do you make yourself stop loving
the one who’s moved on.
the intricacies of love and loving.
you can love someone and not be in love with them.
you can be in love with someone but know they aren’t “the one”.
But you can only have one soul-mate.
And if you are wondering if you’ve found that person… you haven’t
how do you fall out of love?
if its your soul-mate… you don’t.
