I used to think you were the love of my life
the same way I thought the last guy was the love of my life
and at one point it made me uncomfortable
because at one point the last guy made me uncomfortable
I thought that “love of my life” meant there could only be one
and if it didn’t work out then it wasn’t really love
the thought of jumping from one love to the next used to scare me
it made love sound fake
but you made me realize that I when I said “love of my life”
it had nothing to do with other people
I just wanted to be in love
I had so much love to give
I should have been giving it to myself but
I didn’t know how
so I gave all the love that was supposed to be for myself
to someone else
when I tried that with you
you said that I needed it more than you did
and I fell in love with the both of us at the same time
I am the love of my life
but you, darling
are the life of my love.
