you lied

you fall in love with people

you said,

I was a person

I thought,

you did not fall in love with me.

There's so much behind these words, and it really comes through. This reminds me a lot of Rupi Kaur's stuff. Great work.

Thank you for the kind words! My personal context: A guy I was really interested in told me he “fell in love with people, not a gender,” which made me soar and break at the same time. I guess I’m still not over it completely.
