I love you, but do you love me?
A poem about love, longing, and the pain of feeling overlooked. It’s a raw reflection on giving your all to someone who might not feel the same way anymore, and the doubt that creeps in when another catches their eye.

I love you,
but do you love me?
I love you like the fish love the sea.
I love you—
I am your fish,
and you are my sea.
We’re meant to be,
but there’s always another fish swimming by.
I see you looking at her as she passes by,
your eyes dazzling like the night sky.
I’ve always been here.
She just came.
Even if I made mistakes,
you’re still my home,
the only place I’ve ever known.
I miss how we used to be,
always on the phone.
You were my ride or die,
but now it’s more like “say hi” or “pass by.”
I know you know I love you a lot,
but it feels like you’re taking my love for granted—
trading me in for a parking spot.
I love you,
but do you love me?
I love you,
but there are always more fish in the sea.
