I Know Why

I long for love,

Like you long for food,

It’s the greatest wish

On my secret Christmas list.

When I close my eyes,

I remember.

I remember the one short time that I knew I was loved.

I remember falling in love with him

When he said those three words.

Those three lies.

A blessing and a curse in one.

Is the everlasting pain worth the short satisfaction of my longing?

I’ll never be over him,

Because I know why I loved him.

And I can’t forget it.

Ever.
