Unloving You...

I've learned so many things
from the experiences we've been through
but the hardest lesson is yet to learn
is how to "unlove" you

I've learned not to fall so hard
not to fall in love so fast
because, as quickly as it comes into your life,
it can quickly become your past

I've learned not to trust so much,
to read between the lines
because, if I had known what I now know
I would have known you were never mine

I've learned not to be so open
not to wear my feelings on my face
because, they can be used against you
like they were.. in my case

I've learned to be more honest
to express how I feel
because, you never knew how I felt
because, I kept my feelings sealed

I've learned not to be so accepting
to put someone else before me
because, when I did this for you
you never fulfilled my needs

I've learned not to be so nice
not to be so believing
because you forsook my love
and mistook my kindness for weakness

I've learned not to believe
that absence makes the heart grow fonder
because when I tried to give you your space
it made your heart wander

I've learned not to be so forgiving
and to try to make things work
because when I did this for you
I only got myself hurt

I've learned so many things
from the experiences we've been through
but the hardest lesson is yet to learn
is how to "unlove" you
