I have never loved a man the way I've loved him
I've known this since I first realized I had fallen in love with him
But I never really knew what it would mean
Until he was no longer with me
Then I realized just how deeply those feelings took root
Taking over my veins and taking control of my body
Replaying scenes but the way I wish it would've happened
Crying when I realize I will never love my new man completely because he has taken permanent residence in a corner of my heart
It's scary
Damn near obsession
Hoping maybe one day he'll come back
Begging the universe to never let him back into my life
I don't want to love him
I wish our paths never crossed
I wish our memories weren't the same
I wish I had never taken that first leap of faith
