Dear Love,


Dear Love,

 

Do you remember the first time we met?

It was sometime around Spring of 2016

You asked me about a picture you drew

I told you it looked nice

Lying of course but that didn't matter

I had a huge crush on you

And this was your first time speaking to me

Do you remember our first kiss?

We had met in the back stairwells during first period

Do you remember how nervous we were?

It was like a movie when two lovers meet

And they finally realize that they are in love

You leaned in slowly I followed your lead

Then it happens our lips finally meet

How about our first date do you remember that?

You took me to the movies

And then to IHOP

You were always spoiling me telling me to get whatever I wanted

By this time we both knew we were in love

And vowed to be together forever

But nothing lasts forever right?

I remember the day I told you I was moving away

We didn't know how we could deal with the distance

But we found a way

Do you remember after we hit a year how everything went downhill?

Distance didn't help

We would argue constantly about the dumbest things

Then for some reason, we found a way to add more distance than we already had

You used to compliment me every day

But suddenly that faded

We would talk less

And I would think to myself what am I doing wrong?

But soon I found out it wasn't me it was you

I remember June 8, 2017

It was the worst day of my life

And why?

Because of you

You cheated on me

Why though? What’s your reasoning for cheating?

Was I not good enough?

I just hope she was worth it

Because you just took the biggest L

Losing a girl that was really down for you

But oh well I hope you're happy

 

Love, The one that got away
