I have been waiting for you to say those three simple words since the moment my lips first met yours,
But I never thought it would be like this.
The first time you said you loved me,
I didn't believe you,
And I admitted it in a chuckle, shielding my pulsing heart accompanied by desperate thoughts of,
"What if he really means it?"
As my eyes glued to the screen in my palm, my fingers trembled, my ears absorbed the soothing sound of a begging voice, I inhaled the scent of a late night companion, and my tongue reminisced the taste of you.
I've never heard a lie so convincing that it makes me second guess all the tears I cried for you.
And after two years of, "It's complicated," and wishing that you wanted me like I wanted you, and being broken and rejected, you finally utter the words that could make me forget all of the things I hate about you,
Meanwhile reminding me of your response when I said them to you,
"No you don't."
I don't believe you.
And I will fight to the death for the moment when I am finally able to let you go.
