Not Love Like I thought

Journal Entry from Feb 9th, 2017

By Zay KeyzPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I didn't love you

Like I thought I did

I opened my heart

But you closed yours instead

You hurt me

I hurt you

In circles we danced

It seems that our love

Just did not exist

I miss you still

In the blur of the memories

The good ones

And bad times

I thought you were funny

You light up my world

You held me together

The glue has dried now

And I'm even stronger

Without you

At times I feel sad

I know it's for the best

I hope that you're happy

And all the rest

Please don't forget me

I promise the same

I won't for got all the silly names

That we called each other

And when we held hands

Ten fingers together

Interlaced bliss

I'm happy without you

I hope you're the same

You gave me knowledge

Guts and some strength

To fight off the darkness

That his in my would

Now I'm a bright light

Mended and whole
