The moment I loved you was the moment I began to lose,
not just you, but pieces of myself I didn't even know I was giving away.
That loss didn't come suddenly; it unfolded quietly, like dusk stealing light from day.
And it lasted for as long as my heart stayed loyal,
for as long as I kept believing love alone could save what was already gone.
Every heartbeat that whispered your name became a reminder
of everything I was losing just to keep feeling something real.
I carried the ache like a vow,
a promise I never meant to make,
a love I didn't know would cost me so much of myself.
Because the moment I loved you,
was the same moment I began to fade,
and the longer I stayed in love with you,
the more I disappeared into the memory of what could have been.
