Love is not
A faded petal
Burned by the sun
Defeated by the wind
Love isn't that ferocious will
That blocks your breath
That makes you mutter
Love is not
Looking down
To justify an useless delay
Love is not changing your every way
To look like who you wanted
The years passed
That's how it ended
But I'm no longer that girl
That always told you 'Yes'
It wasn't love between us
It wasn't love, it has never been
Your hands on my lap
Hurt me
Who knows how I could
Call it love
Love is not a slow agony
It's not the fear of your jealousy
Of every detail, every little thing
Feeling that you should say you're sorry
Love is not healing the spines
Waiting in silence for the end to come
Love is not finding yourself changed
Looking at yourself in the mirror and feeling you're wrong
Now that I think of it
It hurts
The wounds go away
But are never forgotten
It wasn't love between us
It wasn't love, it has never been
Your hands on my lap
Hurt me
Who knows how I could
Call it love
Your hands on my lap
Hurt me
Who knows how I could
Call it love
Taking the courage again
Of loving for real
Of starting over again, from zero
Someday the past will dissolve
I'm not afraid
Love will come
