"You're in love with me?"
He said incredulously
Making what I felt seem like naivete
He smiled at me indulgently
As if I had no notion of what 'placate' means
I felt like a fool, an idiot it seemed
In the blink of an eye my feelings he creamed
For a moment I prayed it was just a bad dream
It amazed me how quickly I was dismissed
And even with my shame I still yearned for his kiss
When he walked out my life he was deeply missed
To have his love was my one and only wish
But on my shoulders, crashed reality
Now I hide behind a facade of ambiguity
And I now stand in a world of clarity

Because now I know...
That just because I love him
Doesn't mean he'll love me

"The only love there is, is the love we make."--Prince

How very true this is!
Excellently expressed...and thoroughly enjoyed.

This was a wonderful write. Very enjoyable but a bit sad. Life is always dealing out lessons, some are easy to learn and some are so hard and painful.
