When I look
At the pictures
Of times
Happier past…
Your smiles
Seem like
Lies.
When I love you
It is never
Just in this
Moment
It is in all
Of them
Because that
Is how
I experience
Time.
Now and forever
Are eternal
Moments
For me.
I loved you then
I love you now.
The man I loved
Is the only one
Who didn't
Betray me.
I see your smile
Your head next
To mine
In a loving
Embrace
Which only
Meant right now
Because when
You love…
It's temporary
So long as
You feel
Like it
In your
Fickle moods.
The word love
Is a lie in
Your mouth.
Even when you
Say it to
Your child…
I understand
Why you did
It.
Doesn't mean
I have to like it
Or love it..
I just love you.
That doesn't mean
I'll come back
To you…
Just that I
Accept that your
Love is as
Small as you
Can be,
And not
Unconditional
Like it is
Meant to be,
Like me,
Forever.
