I can't unlove you

Hey readers!!
I hope you all are doing good in your life. It’s been a while—longer than I meant it to be.

Sometimes life gets loud, and other times, it goes so quiet that even words feel too heavy to hold. I’ve been somewhere in between—caught in the stillness, letting time pass while thoughts piled up. And sometimes, the only way to make sense of what’s inside is to let it spill out, raw and unfinished.

Some feelings don’t come with an off-switch. In our life we all remember that quiet ache—the kind that lingers even after the goodbyes, after the silence, after the heart tries to move on but keeps circling back. If you've ever found yourself haunted by a love that refuses to fade, this piece is for you.

Because sometimes, the pain of holding on is quieter than the fear of forgetting. "I Can’t Unlove You" is not just a confession—it's a surrender to a feeling that refuses to die, no matter how much time or distance I place in between. In these lines, I’ve poured the tug-of-war between memory and reality, love and letting go because no matter how far someone drifts, their absence carves a presence too deep to erase. 

I CAN'T UNLOVE YOU

These tears cascading, an uninviting tide,

Until they prove how much my soul is in love with you,

Echoes of your laughter still dance on the air,

A bittersweet melody, the ghost of tomorrow.

When you said, 'It's over',

My heart fractured in silence.

I felt like I was being torn in fragments, 

And I couldn't find a way to cope.

I drift in the void, a ship lost at sea,

Each wave, a memory crashing over my frame,

In this endless abyss where love used to be,

I felt I was drowning and it was you all around.

How do I unlove you, when you're woven in me?

In every heartbeat, in every sigh, a plea

Your smile, a ray of warmth, your laughter, a song.

Yet here I stand, shattered- where did we go wrong?

In the shadows where silence lingers,

A whisper of your name clings-

But time has no mercy, and fate plays its part,

Leaving fragments of love to reside in each chamber of my heart.

It was all my fault. I couldn't give you assurance,

It was my hesitation that unraveled our thread,

I can't accept that WE aren't US anymore 

And WE are 'you' and 'I'.

I can't unlove you; it's an unwritten verse,

Etched in the marrow of my weary bones,

So here I stand, in the garden of longing where memories grow,

With love still intact,

Cause I can't, I just can't unlove you.

There are some truths we don’t say out loud—not because we’re afraid, but because they ache too much to name.

If you're reading this, thank you for being here.

Have a nice day!
