Love hurts

Trusting hurts

Loving without return hurts

Trusting and being betrayed hurts

Loving and being broken hurts

Trusting and being left alone hurts

But not loving

Not trusting

That hurts even more

Never let a chance go where

You could have said

‘I love you’

Love deeply

Love fully

Hug tightly

Because it hurts to hold that in

Even more than being

Broken

Betrayed

Lost

Left

It hurts to

Forget

Lose

Move on

And watch without ever saying

I love you
