Hooked

He loved her, he loved her so…

But sometimes love just isn’t enough.

He had to let her go.

She was from a different world, a world he failed to understand.

Where love had no meaning, where love was anything but profound.

She drifted in and out of his door, came by as she pleased.

But she would never stay too long, he was only her friend when in need.

Aware of the spell she’d cast on him.

She’d share some of her most genuine laughs with him.

But he’d never be more.

For her, it was friendship that was set in stone.

He loved her, he loved her so…

But sometimes love just isn’t enough.

He had to let her go.

He loved her for her imperfection, her flaws, her mistakes were easily forgiven.

He knew her for the games she played, the hearts she’d broken.

Yet, he’d sit by her side and wipe her tears everytime she let a new guy in.

Only because he loved her, he loved her so.

But love isn’t enough, he had to let her go.

He watched from the side-lines as she lived her life.

His heart ached that he was never the only man by her side.

Yet, he would swallow his pride and let it slide.

He believed she needed her time, to figure out what she was going through.

To realise her beliefs on love didn't always have to be true.

Someday he hoped he could show her what she was missing

That she would stop chasing this abysmal feeling.

But for now, he had to let her go

Even though he loved her so.
