"Shouldn't Love You"
I know I shouldn't love you; I didn't plan for it to be this way.I thought about us and made a decision today.
Hold on to that ring, honey, I don't need it.
I knew you didn't love me; I just didn't want to believe it.
I guess I have been changing reacting to what you said.
I know things have been tough because it's still in my head.
I feel as if I gave too much to get nothing in return.
But everything happens for a reason, I'll consider this a lesson learned.
The things you said made me distant I started putting up the walls.
I let down the guard and allowed myself to fall.
I gave you the most sacred parts of me, oblivious to the fact,
No matter how much I believed the contrary, you will never love me back.
It doesn't matter if you're my every thing, much like the air I breathe.
That would never stop you if you choose to leave.
It doesn't matter that I love you, how I never loved before.
My loyalty won't stop you from walking out the door.
I'm learning to see this in a different light.
Those words attempt to escape my lips but I put up a fight.
You'll never hear those words from me, I won't say them again.
No matter how much I feel it I'll make myself pretend.
I'm no where near loving you; I have to hide what I feel.
I have to mend these broken pieces allow myself to heal.
Please give me space; I just need a little time.
Allow me time to grieve, eventually I'll be fine.
