Love Hurts

Love isn't everything

I left because it hurt too much to love you;

and wonder why I can't touch you;

feel your touch;

hold you;

worrying;

wondering;

wishing;

we'd meet;

after almost 2 years;

I had to give up.

I left because of your lies;

I got tired of waiting;

and hoping we meet;

but you kept coming up with excuses;

leading me on.

I left because you said you sent me a ring;

It has been a month since you said that you mailed it to me;

everyday I check the mail and it is still not there;

I figured you were trying to get my hopes up for nothing;

that's why I ran.
