CHANGED LOVE

We only see and know what we want. God forbid we open our eyes.

Things are never what they seem,
Distorted by hopes, lies, and denials.

Perceive me as you will.
I am you and you are me.
We only see and know what we choose.

I have faced the facts.
I've opened my eyes.
I've opened my ears.
I've opened my mind.
And now I can see,
And I see you.

Why did you have to change?
Why did you open my eyes?
I was in love with myself
When I was in love with you.
And now that I see you,
My love has changed.
No longer can I love you.
No longer are you, you,
Distorted by my hopes, lies, and denials.
