Like a river flows, surely to the sea.

Darling so it goes.

I don't think this was meant to be.

I thought you loved me.

You hear all these songs about falling in love,

But they don't know what it's like to fall in love with you.

You tore my soul to pieces, my mind to shreds.

Take my hand, take my whole life too.

No, don't touch me.

Leave me alone.

Your hands will only cause harm to me.

You cannot take what doesn't belong to you.

But you did.

Your hands tore the words from my lips before I could even speak them.

Your eyes stole what should have been only mine to see.

For

I

Can't

Help,

Falling in love with you.

But I can.

Your supposed love carved chasms in my skin.

Convincing me that I was far to damaged to be loved by anyone but you.

You thrived in the darkest parts of my mind.

I do not belong.

Shall I stay?

It would be a sin.

The world does not need another marked boy like me.

The world does not need another stain on the fabric of its existence.

The world does not need me.

Wise man say, only fools rush in.

But who's the fool,

Me or You?

The world keeps spinning,

Yet here I stand.

Frozen to every outcry,

To every punchline.

And like a river flows,

Surely to the sea.

Darling so it goes,

We weren't meant to be.

But years from now,

When I am married,

When I have a child, or maybe some dogs.

I will remember you.

Not as my first love, not as my friend.

But as the only person I could ever love and hate at the same time.

For I can't help falling in love with,

You.
