Before I Loved You



I had a life before I loved you.
I smiled every day and looked forward to seeing my friends
I had crushes on random guys at school
After I loved you, I noticed changes.
My smile faded and my friends avoided me
The random guys no longer mattered to me
And all I could think about was you
 The last semester of my freshman year and half of my summer, adds up to half a year
That’s the amount of time that you had taken from me
Those moments, my friends, my immaturity, I wanted it all back
Our relationship began to slowly fall apart
I tried to piece everything back together, but you never cared to keep us
You had said “We weren’t going to last”, that had broke me
I immediately ended things, I had been scared this entire time
Unexpectedly, I smiled when it was over
My life was back without you in it.
