I Was In Love Poem by Gabriel Mapati

This was it.
Finally, my lonely candle had been lit.
I had found my soul mate.
The on to take care of my heart.
I was content with if this was my fate.
I was in love.

My mind thought of nothing but you.
I was running out of ways to please you.
I had learned what love was through you.
I was in love.

Roses I showered you with.
All my savings I clothed you with.
You were the one I wanted to grow grey with.
The love you showed I was content with.
I was in love.

Now to me, love has become improbable.
My heart is irreparable.
What's left of it are shreds.
Trying to mend it, my mind wanders.
Lots of friends you had.
I never minded though because you were lovable.
I was in love.

If only I knew behind your smile you hid your heartless chest.
Now in people, I have lost all trust.
What my friend had I did not have I wish you could point.
Finally, I realize, I was stupid.
My heart is filled with disgust.
I was in love.

If only I had known you were not real.
But how could I when I was trapped under your spell?
Now I try to fix my heart but it seems impossible.
It's now official, I'll spend my whole life miserable.
Why? The answer is simple.
I was in love.
