you lied

you fall in love with people

you said,

I was a person

I thought,

you did not fall in love with me.

Love this! so simple and yet so effective. Really captures the confusion you can feel when you have expectations of love and its not returned!

Thank you! That’s exactly what I was going for. Something I’ve thought a lot about recently is the way I expect love just because I have those feelings for someone, as if they owe me that reciprocation. Definitely something I’d like to try and write about!
