Realization

I made him suffer,
i was so stupid and foolish,
taking the love he had for granted.

I loved him a lot,
but alas,
I could not be as true to him as he wished.
He wanted me solely for himself,
pushing everybody superfluous away.

I could see the hurt in his eyes,
when he found the evidence of me talking to other guys.
I never betrayed him,
yet to him it felt like a huge betrayal.
I was helpless to witness his pain,
wishing that he did not come across such things again.

Then he chose to protect his heart from me,
loving me still,
but afar.
At that moment, I made a choice,
to discard everybody else but him.
Little did I know that I was too late.
He was not tied to me like before,
closing his eyes on things I used to do,
and therefore giving himself the same freedom.

Now I understand how deep and devastating were his feelings,
how much hurt he must have gone through,
whenI come across evidence of him doing the same.
I realize how far away he has gone,
wishing him and his love back,
knowing that I brought this upon myself
though my own filthy hands.

He was never unfaithful,
I just didnt know how to honour my promise,
and keep his heart warm forever.

Loving someone is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. A bad experience is probably the best teacher. I am sorry you had to learn the hard way.
