Yes. I could love you. And I do.
You set my soul on fire.
Make my heart beat faster.
Yes. I can be with you forever.
And I want you more than anything in the world.
More than life, or money, or anything.
Your my life. And everything Im living for.
Never forget it. That were meant to be.
Im so so sorry. I cant love you. And I dont.
And sometimes I want to touch you,
But then... I realise that it wont make a difference.
Im still not yours.
And god. Ive never felt so alone.
With all these secrets. All these lies.
But I cant make it better for you.
Because theres no way I can make it better for me.
Because I need another. Far more than you.
Hes more to me. Hes everything to me.
As I am your world. He is mine.
And I cant help that. or change it.
This guilt encases me. That I cant change it.
I cant make you stop loving me.
And I cant make myself start loving you.
Because Im just not strong enough to let him go.
Does it make it better?
That Im hurting over someone too? Does it help?
Does it make you feel like your not alone?
I hope so. Because its all I can do.
Sorry. So so sorry. That I cant stop you.
Being there for me. When I cant be there for you.
That Im lying to myself.
And hiding from the guilty truth.

Excellent take on the prompt
Yes, there are certain times in life
that we must make painful choices
which is why life can SUCK at times
but we have to do what we have to do
when those crossroads hit us in life
it would be much easier if we could
just vanish the pains but that is not reality
Thank you the the great entry
Wish you the best of luck
