Shut Down
I loved you in the simplest way. A loyal do anything for you type love. The kind that lasts through the ups and the downs, no more no less. An unplanned emotional love. Of course you’re beautiful but that came secondary because I attached myself to your soul first. For the longest time, I was blinded and hopeful all at once for that feeling you gave me, that simple love. What do you think gets in the way of a simple love? A complicated society that constantly need labels. Gay, straight, black, white…do these things matter, well of course. Because of this a simple love cannot exist. A switch is flipped, shut down. I no longer can love you simply because you amaze me, I cannot love you because you make my life better in every way, it is all now complicated. I have to shut it all down.
“It’s been a year and the streets are a little brighter, and daybreaks are a little colder, and everyone seems a little happier. But forgetting has become way harder and longer, darling, and Novembers still feel like losing you. Prompt: November”
