Used to play love like it was all just an empty game…
Used to see every person as one and the very same…
Never allowed myself to feel….
Never let in a love that was timeless and real…
But you left and it changed everything…
For the first time I felt the loss of a life without love and the coldness it would inevitably bring…
In a place without your warmth and smile and laughter…
A place of regrets and brokenness and impossible happily ever afters…
Then I woke up and I could truly see…
Real love was always mine and found within you and me…
Only when we choose love…
Can we truly be free…
