CHANGED LOVE

Things are never what they seem,
Distorted by hopes, lies, and denials.

Perceive me as you will.
I am you and you are me.
We only see and know what we choose.

I have faced the facts.
I've opened my eyes.
I've opened my ears.
I've opened my mind.
And now I can see,
And I see you.

Why did you have to change?
Why did you open my eyes?
I was in love with myself
When I was in love with you.
And now that I see you,
My love has changed.
No longer can I love you.
No longer are you, you,
Distorted by my hopes, lies, and denials.
