the art of loving you

thirty four.

i.
there was a time when i loved you but you broke my heart, and i was left to fix it.

ii.
she was the sun that lit my never ending darkness, and she took my beaten heart in her hands and brought it back to life.

iii.
you were my friend, she was something more.

iv.
you and she were two galaxies hurtling through space, an inevitable collision, and i was in the middle and waited for the bang.

v.
i hated to see him kiss you, but for the first time, i also did not want me to kiss you either.

vi.
she held my hand down the hallway and i don't think i had ever smiled so much.

vii.
the first time i saw her cry, you were the reason behind it.

viii.
you told me you hated me when i told you i loved her, and i couldn't fathom why it bothered you.

ix.
the way her hand fits in mine and the way her lips feel against mine are the reason i still believe in love.

x.
she is mine and i am hers. you have cancelled from the equation.
