no, I don't love you
yet
I yearn for one look at face
no, I don't love you
yet
I burn for your touch
once upon a time, under a sky so vast,
we promised forever, but forever didn’t last.
your shadow lingers in my very dream,
a haunting melody, a silenced scream
now when someone gives voice to your name
I have no choice but to hide my pain
I whisper lies to keep the pain at bay,
"no, I don't love you," is easier to say.
yet, your laughter echoes, a bittersweet refrain,
in the quiet moments, I hear it again.
I sought to bury this love so deep,
pretending it's dead, a secret to keep.
but love, like a seed, in darkness, it grows,
in the depths of my heart, it silently shows.
every day, I wear a mask, a smile wide,
hiding the turmoil that churns inside.
to my friends, I laugh, I jest, I play,
but in solitude, my facade fades away.
“no, I don't love you," I say to the moon,
hoping I, too, will believe it soon
I hide my pain
when someone gives voice to your name.
I hate myself whenever I let you cross my mind
I hate myself when I view you as the most important one of mankind
but then, through seasons change and time's swift flow,
my heart learns to let your memory go.
not forgotten, but held in a gentle embrace,
a part of my soul, in a sacred space.
and so, I journey through each day,
finding beauty in all things, come what may.
in the laughter of friends, in the warmth of the sun,
I find the strength to say, "I am done."
no longer chained by a love so profound,
in my own heart, a new rhythm I've found.
I cherish the scars, for they made me see,
that loving you, was a part of finding me.
in letting go, I’ve found a way,
to cherish us, yet not let it sway
my path forward, with a heart now clear,
grateful for the love that led me here.
no, I don’t love you
this time I mean it.
