And I tried and I turned away but you would always be around. I believe you did not want to be around. But you were. I tried to let this love go. I tried so hard to stop believing. I told myself I am wrong. I told myself whatever I believed in is false. I tried to drown this love with wine. I tried to suffocate it, dedicating all my time to everything else. I tried to become numb, but I still felt the tears. I told this love to go. I did not want it anymore. But I failed. Whenever I turned away from this love it would follow me and tell me to go on. Let me go, I said. I can't, I said. Come back, I said. I can't, you said. I failed but I can't stop loving.

Hey you, once a stranger, I have learned to love you.
