when you hold her close
she tells she feels loved
she tells she feels loved
but when she looks at you
you never do
you never do
when you wrap her in your arms
she says you make her world spin
but when she hugs you back
you feel incomplete
when you kiss her
she says you make her heart flutter
but when she kisses you back
you don’t feel a thing
when you make love
she says you’re the one
and you wonder
because you don’t feel the same
everything she ever does
always falls short
because although we are miles apart
I still exist in your thoughts
your smile’s a fake one
so is the love you pretend
no matter who you are with
I’ll always be the one you could never forget…

I can relate.
Powerful as always Asha. I think this describes the end of a relationship as it dies perfectly, especially as one person tends to be more attached than the other, even the most stable relationship is rarely a constant 50:50.

It’s been so long. I wonder how I ever missed replying to the comments on this post.
Yes, one is always way too much attached and is the one who takes forever to accept bitter truths.
How’ve you been, Fionn?

Don’t worry, Asha. I myself have been pretty bad at maintaining the blog for a while, and at responding to the comments too. Hopefully, it will go fine now, as the roadblocks are clear.
I’m good. What about you? You’been writing and publishing quite a lot lately; I’ve been able to catch up on a few posts, mostly through your twitter handle. Keep writing! Will check out the other posts soon.
