Maybe, you did too

Sometime between the honeymoon and the monotony

We became distant and things started going south

Maybe you no longer found me attractive

Maybe I no longer saw a future with you

I felt we were only holding onto memories

And maybe, you did too

It wasn’t easy but it had to be done

I loved you too much to not let go

For someone so fickle minded, I sure was decisive

Decisive enough to end things with you

Ironically, I still wanted to fight for us

And maybe, you did too

Understandably, you hated me for it

I hurt you, I broke you

In a week I was replaced by someone new

You hurt me, you broke me

But I still loved you,

And maybe, you did too

Months later, we started talking again

Trying to rekindle, trying to reconnect

Trying to forgive, trying to forget

Oh how much I pined over you

Undeniably, I missed us

And maybe, you did too

Months later, we met again

But now, we carried a hundred secrets

For the sake of each other’s sanity, we

Contemplated which to seal and which to tell

I told myself we can be fixed

And maybe, you did too

There were lies on top of lies

Even though the intentions were pure

I had no idea what to trust anymore

That’s how I became so insecure

Still, I felt this was worth another shot

And maybe, you did too

But the insecurity got the better of me

Who are you texting and dancing with?

How does one trust someone who has lied before

When will this love feel secure

Still, I wanted us to ride the storm together

And maybe, you did too

You had no explanation for the lies

But, you got tired of the negativity

And this time you ended things

To be alone for a while

I told myself to let go of us now

And maybe, you did too

I forgot how to smile

I forgot we were finite

I forgot what love is

I forgot how to write

But, I remembered you this winter night

And maybe, you did too
