Diffence Between loving and being in love


I always knew there was a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone 

But I didn't know how being in love actually felt 
Until she had me swimming in her pond of lies
Until she had me waiting for something that wasn't real
Until her mouth was always seal when I asked" how you feel ? "
How could you tell me I was special to you ? If you never showed it 
Had me thinking you was the right one for me 
Had me thinking we would have a future 
I was so one-minded to the point I only wanted you 
I was so one-minded to the point I wrote paragraphs everyday telling you how much I love you 
I always had to think should I believe it ?
Should I really think your love for me was complicated ?
Should I think the words I love you = 8 letters + 3 words = 1 lie?
Being in love with you was a lesson
Being in love with you taught me to not invest my time in the wrong person 
Being in love with you taught me not to wait for something that isn't real 
And Most importantly to love the right person because the word L.o.v.e = Life Offers Valuable Experiences 
You taught me that 
Since your love didn't provide valuable experience 
I will find it within someone else
