shadow.

he's got you smiling since day one.

when they stand in front of their shadows,

their expressions are hidden,

and her shadow is shining with happiness,

but his emotions are buried in the darkness.

she can't see the pain he's feeling,

she can't see how much he's hurting.

can you really say you love a person,

when we don't really know the meaning of love?

i thought i knew the meaning when i met him,

and then after countless chances, i realised that

 loving someone doesn't mean you'll stay with them

regardless of the hurtful things they've done or said.

love isn't meant to be like that.

Do you believe in love?

Show me what it feels like to be loved.

i used to think that everything that happened, everytime we argued -
whether it be stupid, or serious, i used to think everything was my fault.
you were so perfect, you 'loved' me more than anyone,
no one could find a reason as to why you would treat me badly.
neither could i.
at least now we all know who was wrong.
