I’m throwing all the memories
Wishing I never met you in this life
Hoping to get over the pain and sorrow
Blurring your image in my mind.

Your kisses were the biggest lie
And all the smiles were never just for me.
I was naive and now I’m paying
While you are playing with another fool.

Tonight I cried the last time over you
Can’t stand to be pathetic one more day
I learnt a lesson and it was the hard way
But now I’m sure that soon I’ll be OK!

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” Neil Gaiman
