I remember how I used to love you when I used to love you...
I remember being with you and thinking to myself
damn...I am in love with you
How I watched you as the day went by
and how I was jealous when I thought another was robbing me of your attention
and how much better the world seemed when I thought I was the sole possessor of it
How my heart ached when I wasn't with you
And how I tried to better myself to make myself worthy of you presence
your touch, your love. . .
and how my only regret at the time was that...you didn't know that you loved me as much as I loved you. . .

so years later, when you finally revealed to me that you did....
unfortunately, all I felt was....validation.
