Unlove Me

You know I love you –

You’re my pal,

But that is all

We’ll ever be, Al.

 

Please know I never meant

For you to get hurt.

I don’t want to be rude,

But I have to be curt.

 

We cannot go on this way,

Why can’t you see?

I beg of you,

Please, unlove me.

 

I don’t want to hurt you.

I don’t want to break your heart,

But the only way we’ll be happy

Is if we go back to how things were at the start.

 

Please, unlove me,

I beg you again.

Let’s go back

To just being friends.

 

It’s easier that way

And forever friends we’ll stay.

Please understand,

I just don’t love you in that way.

 

Let’s go back

To the way it used to be.

Once more I ask you

Please, unlove me.

This is purely heart wrenching and so much emotional indeed!
A very great piece of writing!
