When we first met,

I felt a buzz.

 

When we first touched,

I felt the rush.

 

When we first kissed,

I was flying.

 

At the first "I love you",

I was addicted.

 

After the "I love you"s stopped,

I started falling.

 

After the kisses diminished,

I was falling.

 

After the touch was gone,

I crashed.

 

After he was gone,

So was I.

 

He took my high,

and left me on the ground.

 

He took his love,

and left me lonely.

 

Lonley me, an ex-addict.

Who has been sober far too long.
