Rules

I kept all of them
Every one of those damn rules they said would keep our love burning
Make me irresistible and my beloved baker never want to leave
And what hurts the most
I still try to make them work
Buried in books and Google in search of the latest
“Maybe this time it’ll work”
“This will be my last check” I tell myself
No! He won’t love me
Somehow he loved how I made him feel
And the feeling is gone
Now all I do is give him reasons to break my heart
I know I should let go
But how do I?
How do I undo love
And all these emotions and memories
we laughed and loved without reason
we closed our eyes and loved under the stars
unending kisses and stares under the sun
he was mine, I knew when we were together
tell me how do you unlove the one you know you’ll be loving forever
how was i to know it wasn’t love
If only there were rules to that too.
