106 - My Lover Once Told Me

My lover once told me,
the problem with you is that you see the end
before you ever let anything begin.

My lover once told me,
the problem with you is that
you are asking for too much.

My lover once told me,
the problem with you is that you are really hot
but I'm not interested in you as a person.

My lover once told me,
he wanted to be monogamous after the first date
and ghosted me after the fourth month.

My lover once told me,
he wanted to be exclusive after the 2nd date
and then I didn't hear from him for a year.

My lover once told me,
I was so much fun but he was looking for a life long lover
and it would never be me.

My lover once told me,
I really do like you,
but I like her better.

My lover once told me,
he almost loved me but the problem with me
was he never fully could.

My truest love once told me,
the problem isn't with you, the problem is you listen
to all these people and believe it to be true.
