The time you know that

you really love someone is the time

when they fall in love with someone else and you decide to not kick up a fuss

sometimes not to even tell them that

you love them so deeply and

you just let them go

All you want is for them to be happy

and if that means that they are

with someone else and not you

so be it

You just let it be and hope that

the person they're with loves them

as much as you love them and hope

that the other person makes them

happy for the rest of their lives

because you know that if they don't

that would hurt you because

if they're not treated right you know

deep within that you would've loved them

so much more and that's what

breaks your heart because

no matter how much you love them

you can't have them

Because their feelings for you

have never been there so

you never even had a chance.

So you just want them to be happy forever

No matter how many rivers you cry

And feel like someone just stabbed you

right through your heart and

How much you'd wish things

could've been different and

how much you struggle to let go

Even if it kills you in the process

It doesn't matter

As long as they're happy

That's real love

Not necessarily a happily ever after

Like in those fairy tales

If only there would be a person somewhere who'd wait for you to come around

Well that doesn't happen

in this world right

Does it ??
