You told me you loved me
and I thought it was true
But now I am crying
and I'm still in love with you
You gave me a lot of comfort
when days went by,
but now I feel hurt and still love you
and cannot say goodbye
I try to forget you,
but you are always on my mind
and in my heart ...
but life goes on.

Oh, Chuma - this is so relatable, especially for young women your age. Thank you for this heart rending reminder that love is never lost. Many people know the painful feeling that someone they loved tossed them away. These words will heal many who read them, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see more of your writing in the future ... especially that forthcoming memoir we discussed!
