To The Stranger I Used To Love

Rating: 5.0


I was so reluctant to love you
Terrified of letting myself fall for you
I was scared that you would leave
But you convinced me otherwise
I believed you
Yet I knew better
I turned a blind eye and fell so deeply in love
I was shattered
And you put the pieces back together
I thought you would be my last
But when I least expected it
You abandoned me
The day you left
I felt all alone
I felt so betrayed
I felt myself getting lost
I became a stranger to myself
I was torn between letting you go
And forcing my love on you
Bt I didn't blame you really
I blamed myself for letting my guard down
For letting myself love you like that
For thinking you loved me the same way
But i do not regret loving you
Because though my heart stopped beating
You taught me a lot
And how it feels to be loved
You taught me to live
And to love.
