Heartbreak of An Introvert

Why'd I have to go off and love you
I mean I do love you
Kinda sorta in-a-way I guess not really anymore
Like I don't hate but I sometimes just want to pick at your heart with a meat clever till your true emotions spill out
Don't get me wrong
I don't mind chillin with you but when I do I start to feel like things are better
Like the way you would look at me makes me feel like love really dose exists
And the way we would inappropriately joke about sex while around other couples made me think things seemed easy
I know we broke up but you never truly knew how I felt
Like how I would write about you every other day
And the fact that I have a journal that's filled with poems that would make me look like a creep
I mean when we were together things couldn't have been better
I had my dream girl
My grades were great
I couldn't see life getting any better than this
But knowing life and I things were only to get worse
May 26 2015 the breakup
After our senior trip of course I was in denial
A week later you were distant
Two days later we were physical
One graduation later you had broke it off
One semester of college and boring conversations every know and them later
I'm here
Why'd I have to go off and love you
I mean I do still think I love you
I think
Like I don't hate you
I just hate our outcome and I don't hate what we had I just hated what it made me

Justin, falling in love is something our hearts will not be denied. I wish you had shown her the poems you wrote ~ maybe you should. It could make a difference in your relationship. Thanks for sharing your feelings.
