You asked me if I loved him. 

I looked down at my cold hands,
the steaming coffee mug.
And in my head,
I screamed no;
how could I. 

How can you love someone you never even knew to begin with. 

I smiled,
A small
crooked smile;

yeah,

I did.

And inside my mind,
the same smile appeared.
because of how naive I had been,
to what
love
was. 

With him I thought the over protection,

The worry,

Concern,

Obsession,

Was out of love for him.
When in reality,
it was for who he was loving,
when I wasn't around. 

The butterflies and anxiety, 

That come with this coffee. 

Your dimples.

Your voice. 

That's what real love should feel like;

Look like;

Yet I can't bring myself,
To smile like you smile.
My heart won't let go.

Because no matter how

Stupid,

Trivial,

Small.

You were the one I wanted.

The one I want...

But I grip my mug a little tighter,

Give a small laugh.

No.

I dont love him.

But I don't think
I'll ever
Love
Again
