Twelve endless months
Eleven crucial fights
Nine bruises covered with love
Eight months in and you drag me further along
Seven dates ending in what I should’ve stopped
Six more I should have rejected
Five words I wanted to hear
of course I love you
Four times in which I became strong
Three in which I came back
but the last
the one time I left
I lost you
and that’s what I loved most in the end.
