The Attachment

A year ago today, I finally understood the true meaning of love

He loved me, he cared for me & he wanted an “us”

At least I thought he did …

How can I be so stupid?

 

I was so young

I was so naïve

I thought I was in love

Damn, how did I get caught up?

 

I lost my virginity to someone who didn’t want to commit

All along, there was another woman in the picture

Or was I the other woman to begin with?

But still, I continued to fight for him

 

The day I found out about her, I cried

I never got so emotional, but please understand

He was my first love, I gave him all of me

And I still took him back after all he has done

 

Being attached is no joke

Day and night you can’t sleep

You think about the one you love

Hoping they would love you more

 

A year ago today, I finally understood how love works

He wanted us to be together forever

At least I thought he did …

How can I be so stupid?
