Love Affair

Please don’t seek refuge in me;

I’ll only fall for a side of you

I made in my own head.

Please don’t make me fall for you;

I’ll only write a story of us

That could never be.

A bitter thank-you; An honest goodbye.

I should really thank you for
Making me perfect cups of tea and
Showing me all your favourite bands and
Staying up late to say everything about nothing.

But I just want to forget about
Wasted tears falling in empty mugs and
Reminders of you in every stupid song
And staying up waiting for replies that never came.

You never really cared,
Did you?
