Chapter 1- My Love (All That Glitters Isn't Gold)

My Love


I’m thinking about you as I type this.

I’m too scared to write it.

About how you made me feel

It felt so unreal

I was an unlit candle

And you were the light

And when we were together you made me ignite

Our fire burned brighter together

Then when we were alone

I couldn’t wait til you were home

I wanted to fall asleep in your arms

Trying to make me feel warmth as if I was buried in yarn

My heart felt full

No matter how I tried

I couldn’t stop thinking about some stupid guy

I shared my body with you

As us two melted into one

I finally learned how to love someone

Although there was turmoil

In those really bad fights

You always made it better at the end of the night

As much as I want to lie

And say what I felt wasn’t real

I can never hide the way you made me feel

I wish you nothing but the best

I never said that to an ex

But for you I mean it

I don’t know what will happen in the future

Or if you’ll be in it

I’m too scared to say it out loud, I’m sorry I’m timid

But I don’t want you to leave

But if you end up going away

Even though I want you to stay

You really made me happy at the end of the day.

My Love, I love you.

Didn’t want this chapter to end

How the story became undone

And the truth can finally unfold

That all that glitters isn’t gold.
