"Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person."

-Anonymous-

...And this is what I feel for you, love!

DEAR LOVE,
I heard that some things are better left unsaid but this one isn't just one of it but I decided to do this anonymously.

Good old days, good old memories... Days of friendship, days of sincerity, days of love! But now this is only but a vague memory.

Love changed you, or did it change me too? Love changed us!
How did we get there? Principles gone! Boundaries crossed! Sense of reasoning blocked! đŸ˜ĸ

How foolish of me to think something good could grow out of this..
It broke my heart to know I fed my distraction at the expense of another soul's happiness. I wept terribly for I let my guard down...

The past is in the past, so I leave that memory buried in the innermost part of my mind.

Days turned into weeks and slowly revelations began coming.
I read between the lines and figured you've derailed... This wasn't love anymore but a means to swindle.

You really wanted to eat your cake and have it, sadly things don't work that way.
Without much ado, you dragged in the mud the reputation I built for you.

I saw your flaws, I knew your cunning ways, I sensed your insincerity, you caused me unimaginable pains, your promiscuity saddened me but I never said a word.
And in all these you said you love me?
I'll say your love is wicked!

Everyday I wake with wild thoughts and questions I can't find answers to..
Why me? Why now? Could this really be you? What happened?
But who will provide the answers I seek?

Just because I'm human, I let the tears roll, I let my heart bleed and now I'm left numb.

Despite all these, I stayed.
Not for any benefit cos what have you to offer me? I know you needed me and I respected you regardless.

Never forgot all you did for me... I just loved you, it's all I knew how to do and it's just what I'll keep doing at a safer distance.

I hope you never think you fooled me cos I see through your mask in everywhere...
I hope you never try to cross the line again cos I'll be ready to break hell loose!
I hope you change for the better cos I still believe there's light in you.

And someday if ever you're asked to define love by the mention of just one name, I hope I'll cross your mind.
Cos as undeserving as you maybe, I love you regardless!

Today, I rest with peace.
