10 reasons why I never loved you.
On days like these I keep reflecting. I reflect on my past and also you. The memories are tormenting every waking thought, but I wonder if they are tormenting you the same way.
On days like these I get to experience these thoughts. Those thoughts about lost loves, lost souls, lost sounds and lost people. I wonder if you are just as lost as me.
On days like these it pains me to realize that I have never loved you.
Reason Number One - Your sparkling eyes
I can't explain it but something about your eyes made me sick. You were full of life, full of hope and I hated every single bit of it. The way you shined as if you were the brightest star in the constellation, the way you would look at me like a child being fascinated with the world, all that disgusted me.
Your eyes. Those eyes, they were the start of everything. Your eyes started mocking me. Deep down I know you were disgusted by me but why did your eyes show such a warmth? Why could I experience a burning love just by looking at your eyes? Why couldn't you just look away? Never look at me again, I can't bear your gaze. I can't bear the warmth. I couldn't bear you that's why I left.
But that's only one reason out of ten.
Reason Number Two - Your smile that melts me
Everyday was the same. You'd greet me with a smile in the morning, and wished me a smiley goodnight. It was infuriating. I started hating that smile. Your smile started betraying me. After all, I still can't understand the way it made me feel. How happy I was, how desperate I was to see your smile. But now your smile is gone and I can't feel the love I have once felt. The love that made me so sick of you. The love that destroyed every story of me and you. It's all your fault in the end.
Your smile. That smile made me feel like nothing else. But I just couldn't stand it anymore. Your smile was everything and nothing to me. If I could wish for one thing, I would wish to forget about your smile. That memory pains me. Never smile at me again. There is no reason for that. Leaving you made me realize that it was for our own good.
But those are only two reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Three - Your tantalizing touch
Phantom hands are tracing their fingers on my skin. They remind me of you. You loved to hold my hand, hug me tight and much more. Your touch made me weak. Your touch became dentrimental for me. I hate how I still can't help but think of you whenever I am craving touch, whenever the loneliness swallows me. I can't help it but to hide the pain. The pain that you inflicted.
Your touch. It's all the fault of your touch. If you haven't hugged me, if you haven't kissed me, if you haven't loved me, I would still be happy. Now I hate thinking about your touch. I hate thinking about you. I am slowly starting to hate you. But yet I am still so desperate for your touch. My heart, it cries out for you in desperation. The desperation that became my reality. I was just observing, wondering what could have been. Was this really the right choice afterall? Am I happy that I left or is the thought of abandoning you soothing my own troubles? I started thinking, was I in the right to leave you?
But those are only three reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Four - Your voice that whispers old melodies in my head
You make me sick. You make me so sick. I hate every single bit of you. I keep hearing the voices of the past. I keep hearing you. I can't, no, I don't want to hear you. Your voice keeps echoing throughout the halls of my solitude. It makes me so sick. Why should I keep hearing your beautiful voice on repeat. Those fragments of your voice string a melody in my heart. A melody that makes me cry. A melody that makes the pain come out of me, like vomit out of my mouth. It's destroying me.
Your voice. Your voice disgusts me. But I still can't help longing for it. I replay every voice message you have ever send me. In the end of the day I am just a weak man born from a corpse. A man that couldn't handle the joy of your voice. A man that started hating everything, including you. I hate that that voice told me how much it loved me. It upsets me that something so disgusting could love me. And yet I can't deny it, but at that time I loved it too. I loved you. But those memories and feelings are long gone. I have been lost in the waves of my regret and it's been ages since I have seen the shore. I am sorry that I have left you.
But those are only four reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Five - The turning point
On days like these I start reflecting. I reflect on the person I was and the person I am. Back then I was too stupid, too selfish and not the man that you deserved to have. I have caused you so much pain. I caused you disappointment and grief. The me of today regrets the choices of past me. It started to hate the past me and the past me hated the me of today. If it had loved me, I wouldn't have to feel the way that I do now. The me of today is the product of the hate of the past me.
You were so tired. I wish I could've cared more. But I didn't. The past me couldn't love the me of today. The past me couldn't love you like the me of today does. It's just one sided, since there is no way for you to ever love the me of today, if the only thing that binds you to the name Geto is the me of the past. I am sorry for the pain I have caused you. If I could've shown you a sparkle in my eyes, if I could've melted your heart through my smile, if I could've captivated you with my tantalizing touch, if I could've put you under a melodious spell with my voice, would you be able to love the me of today? Thoughts like these don't matter anymore. I have done the damage. That's why leaving you turned into a nightmare.
But those are only five reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Six - The lies you told me
This is when you started to change. The happiness in you disappeared and every atom of you started hurting. All because of me. You said that you loved me but I could tell that you were full of hate towards me. I knew that you hated me, because of the things I have caused you. You told me that it's going to be okay, but I knew you didn't believe in your words. You said we are going to work this out but you knew best that this wouldn't be happening.
Your lies. The lies you told me, that you believed to be the truth started slowly eating away on you. Even if I promised to change, it wouldn't made you feel better. You would started doubting yourself. Wondering why I couldn't have been the best version of me from the start. You'd ask yourself why you weren't worth of my love. I wouldn't be able to answer you. You were perfecting, I wasn't. That's when I slowly started distancing myself, while you were still seeking for me. You did nothing wrong, it was me. Why did I let you suffer so much? I don't know. You didn't deserve any of this. That's why leaving you became a burden.
But those are only six reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Seven - The hate you've shown me
The way I hid my love, you reciprocated. You distanced yourself from me. No one was greeting me in the morning or wishing me goodnight anymore. Everything began to turn monotonous. Everything that we, no you, build up started crumbling before our eyes. My mind starts wandering through the waves of my thoughts. I wonder if I would have taken your hate seriously, if I could have changed the outcome of me and you.
Your hate. I am thankful for your hate. I realized how wrong I was. I realized that I wasn't half the man that you deserved. Apologies aren't enough to fix the core of your heart. I am sorry for every single bit of pain I have caused you with my reckless being. I can't turn back time and I can't turn you back to your old self. Your old self that was pouring happiness everywhere you went. Now all I remember is the empty shell of a person. A person who gave their all and got nothing in return. I hope you find peace. I hope your heart can heal. I started realizing that leaving you was a big mistake.
But those were only seven out of ten reasons.
Reason Number Eight - The soul that you took
Now I am only an empty body. An empty body searching for a purpose. Searching for a soul. If there is no you, there would be no me. Without you there is no love. Without me you would have been happy. Yet again I am lost in the waves of desperation and hate. I am reflecting on the day that you couldn't take it anymore. On that day you were honest for once. On that day our souls finally lost their connection. Our bodies were right in front of each other, but our hearts were miles away. We couldn't understand our love anymore.
A soul. A soul is nothing in my eyes. Just a burdensome existence. You lost every piece of it. I ate away at your soul, your heart and body. I couldn't recognize you anymore. I didn't know who you were anymore. But that story you knew too well. You were never able to recognize me. To recognize the pain, the sorrow, the thruth your heart was screaming out, but you kept on ignoring. When did you start to hate yourself that much? You should have left the first time you felt a shattering in your heart. You should have left me and not wait to completely fall apart. Your soul was the key fragment for your completion, but you threw it all away. You threw away your soul for a life of freedom on a line. For a man that gave you nothing. I left you. I left you with all the sorrow, grief, resentment and solitude. That's why I couldn't enjoy the decision of leaving.
But those are only eight reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Nine - The fear of losing you
The me of today and the way that I am on this day are the only reasons why I keep reminiscing in the past. There is no way my thoughts would reach you so I stay in here. But what is here? Here is the place where men like me end up. Men that couldn't be the best versions for the people around them. Men that only thought about themselves. Men who want to reflect. Men who regret.
Losing you. I was never worried of losing you because I was determined that you couldn't leave. But right now I don't know how to put those words to pen. To describe what I feel about you. I am glad that my thoughts can't reach you. And I wish that your thoughts would never reach me. I don't want to know what you think about me. I am not a good man. Everything that binds you to the word love is the pain and image of me. I don't blame you, if you never trust again. Do you think we would meet in every universe? Do you think I will hurt you in every reality? Do you even think about me? I wouldn't blame you, if you didn't. All this time I was thinking about you, thinking about the past, present, love and myself. I am slowly realizing that I hate myself for leaving you.
But those are only nine reasons out of ten.
Reason Number Ten - It was all my fault
I am so sorry. If this ever reaches you I am sorry. Apologies are not going to turn back time. They don't turn you back to the you I have grown to hate but in reality I loved every bit of you. Why am I sorry? I don't know. These feelings are new to me but they still feel like as if they have always been a part of me. Those feelings just seem logical for me. I don't want to start over again. I don't want to meet a new person, a new love. I will always remind myself of the person who was not the person who is. The past will never disappear. Almost as if I am advertising my mistakes for everyone to see. The thoughts of me changing, but still being the old me in someone elses head discourages me. But change has to occur. Change is what will set you free. What will set me free.
I am thankful for your sparkling eyes, your smile that melted me, your tantalizing touch, the melodies of your voice, the lies that you told, the hate you've shown me, the soul that is long gone and the realisation that I had lost you. I am nothing compared to you. My existence is lower than yours. After all this time I am finally seeing that I am at fault for everything. You did your best while I did nothing in return. Could you spare to look at a man like me, if we ever met again? Would you be able to recognize me, if I changed? Those questions are all useless, since you will never find back to me. That's why I regret to have left you.
Those were all the ten reasons why I never loved you.
