Everyone loved us, but did we love each other?
Our love—wasn’t real,
We also knew this would end,
But kept on pretending,
For fame, for the views.
—
A home with fake memories,
Laughs that didn’t match our tone
Dates that didn’t match our styles.
A room with separate beds,
Different hearts—
Shoved into one.
—
Honestly, this is our fault,
We believed it would work,
We believed wrong.
We never sought love, we sought pictures,
—
Now it’s dark, lonely, sad...
Lives wasted for popularity,
Souls lost for borrowed fame... I don’t understand,
The gifts we were forced to accept,
Looks we were forced to put on,
Love we were forced to have
—
The room now empty,
Maybe for the best...
Now I see, I'm happier,
Our love was temporary.
Like time we never owned,
—
Now that you’re gone,
I finally see —
We are lovers,
Just not towards each other.
—
I saw you in the park, sunlight catching your hair —
This time with someone new,
But I wasn’t jealous,
I was happy for you.
—
You saw me and waved,
I waved with a smile,
Happy to finally see you,
With someone worth your smile.
