When I first fell in love with you, I knew you were different. My chest hurt from loving you so much. I never thought that I would lose what I felt. I never thought my feelings for you would ever change.
Then one day it did. What was done, was done.
I told you over & over that each day my love for you lessen. I knew those words hurt. I wanted them too. I wanted to hurt you. The worst pain is the ones that come in words & rip at your heart. That was the kind of ache I was aiming for. I wanted to tear you apart for ever allowing me to feel betrayed.
But maybe we betrayed each other along the way. Maybe I stopped trying the way I once did. Maybe I made you feel so small that the only way for you to feel big is for you to go down that path. Maybe it was my karma & I needed to feel that pain.
I knew there was this karma that has been following me around, waiting for the perfect moment to present itself.
I hope karma worked & it's done with me.
But after all that happened between us, you kept trying, so I kept fighting.

Honestly, I didn't want to fall back in love with him again. Part of me wanted to leave & never forgive, the other part knew better. The part of me that shouted, "no one's perfect, keep trying." The part of me that knew if I left so easily, I wasn't worth keeping around then.

Now we are here. A year later.
& it's happening again, I'm falling in love.
