I Don't Love You Anymore

[Letting go is always hard. And sometimes when your heart breaks you think it can never be healed. Then suddenly one day you realized that you've moved on without even realizing it. You realized that your heart has long since healed and you never even knew. And you're ready to finally put the past behind you where it belongs and start enjoying the present]

I Don't Love You Anymore

I don’t love you anymore
I realized it when I saw the full moon
And I didn’t close my eyes
So I could imagine your hands
Curled around mine

I don’t love you anymore
I realized it when I was kissed
And I didn’t close my eyes
So I could imagine it was you
Kissing me like you used to

I don’t love you anymore
I realized it when I couldn’t remember the promises we made
And broke
When I could listen to love songs
And not feel the stab in my heart

So now I will smile
A little brighter than before
And laugh
A little louder
Because I don’t love you anymore

I don’t love you anymore
But yet I can’t help wonder
If you still
Love me.

So true. One day, you wake up a realise that you've just...gotten over it! It happens when you're not even looking :) Aptly expressed, love your turn of phrase!
