I love w̶e̶ me

Like a dream untold, a story unread,

Love is not known, but still in our hearts,

Diamond like it lasts-

In future like the past.

It shines brighter than the day;

Silence speaks words you can't say.

When I look at him, smiling,

I smile back, - another crack;

The hand he holds not mine,

I try to say.... I'm fine.

But I'm not, I know:

The crack everyday grows.

As I watched myself drift away,

I tried my hardest to find the way.

Is it a fortune or a woe?

Farther the distance, more it grows.

I couldn't see, but I could feel you,

In my heart the pain was so true.

I tried to write, I tried to sing,

I tried to fly with a broken wing.

Trying to be someone you would like,

I almost changed me and my life.

But now I'm in love with me-

I don't need your love to be happy.

I loved you, yes, but I love me more

And I don't love you anymore.

Years later we met, her hand you'd left

It was like a golden chance,

But I was not in a trance.

Like water washes the shore,

I don't love you anymore.

Thank you is all I can say,

For striving me to be this way.

Now I am a better 'me';

Happiness doesn't need a 'we'.
