When you smile, my heart flutters.
Seeing your face, joy captures me—
so deeply I cannot escape it.
Just know I love you.
My knees weaken.
My focus dissolves.
With only a glimpse of you,
my body forgets its owner.
Just know I love you.
Though I know it was all but a dream,
I never truly had a chance.
My world shatters
when she stands by your side.
I swallow the ache
before it spills into tears.
Still—just know I love you.
But this is my farewell.
I have decided to let you go.
I choose to love myself more,
because loving you turned me into a
shell of myself.
