Love: A Hoax

XIII

I don't remember when it started,

Maybe on the sixth of May,

When my eyes met yours, my heart plummeted,

And haywire went my thoughts

I don't think I even gave importance

to the fact that maybe on the nineteenth of May,

When we first talked and under God's guidance

We walked on the path of friendship

But I do remember thinking too much

Maybe on the twenty-ninth of May

When I first texted you and your reply touched

A corner of my heart I didn't know existed

I also remember sending that text,

Maybe on the second of June

When I confessed to you, and you rejected

But I went ahead and became your best friend

I may also remember thinking

Maybe every day that followed afterwards

That it would pain so much, and I'll go through hurting

But I guess it was love that made me stay...
