I stopped for love but love never stopped for me

I don't think love is always a good thing

I don't know if I want to be with anyone 

Sometimes it feels like its too much

Sometimes it doesn't feel like its a good idea

 

It's not the idea of love 

I love the concept of love

I hate to say this but love was the only thing that made me happy

 

And that was the problem 

No one person should be responsible for my happiness

 

It hurts 

It will never stop hurting

From 5 months from now to 5 years from now

It will never stop hurting

 

Love is a good distraction from what you're running from

But it will never solve it 

I envy those who found it and it stopped hurting for them

But don't think it will for me
