How To Unlove You

I've learned so many things
from the experiences we\'ve been through
but the hardest lesson, yet, to learn
is how to "unlove" you.

I've learned not to fall so hard,
not to fall so fast
because, as quickly as it comes into your life,
it can quickly become your past.

I've learned not to trust so much
to read between the lines
because, if I had known what I know now
I would have known you were never mine.

I've learned not to be so open
not to wear my feelings on my face
because they can be used against you
like they were in my case.

I've learned not to be more honest
to express how I feel
because you never knew how I felt
I kept my feelings sealed.

I've learned not to be so accepting
to put someone else before me
because, when I did this for you
you never fulfilled my needs.

I've learned it's not always best
to give out a second chance
because when I did this for you
you took me for granted.

I've learned not to be so nice
not to be so believing
because you forsook
and mistook my kindness for weakness.

I’ve learned not to believe
that absence makes the heart grow fonder
because, when I tried to give you your space
it made your heart wander.

I've learned not to be so forgiving
and try to make things work
because, when I did for you
I only got myself hurt.

I've learned so many things
from the experiences we've been through
but the hardest lesson, yet, to learn is
how to “unlove” you.
