Stages of Love

Cupcake.
Doll face.
Baby.
I've never been fond of these little pet names that we give to our lovers...until I met you.
Babe.
Sweetie.
My Love.
I'm sorry I couldn't save you from the hell you were going through in your mind...but I tried. Believe me I tried.
Anger.
Confusion.
Coldness.
The only thing that kept me holding on was the love I knew I had for you deep in my heart...even if you didn't love me back.
Everything you hated about yourself, I was ready to fix. Every mistake you made, I was willing to look past.
Regret.
Hurt.
Heartache.
I think about you, and the memories we shared. There was a calm in our relationship, but it wasn't enough for you. You wanted perfection and I couldn't provide that to you.
Freedom.
Happiness.
Acceptance.
You'll always have a place in my heart because I loved you more than life itself. You were the sunshine and the rain, the tears and the joy. But you were never for me, even when I was completely in love with you.
Love.
