The irony of love

_They call it heartbreak_ ........

_I'd say it's a Heart stop, should have known from the start_ .

_The total inability to stop thinking about you started when I first got a glance at your fault free face, I wondered, how could such a human-angel exist_ .....

_That was me a year and half ago. Goodness it's just a premature affection that I felt so deeply into, I went in so deep to the extent I don't see any imperfection, my eyes were blindly closed yet the eye balls are wide open even at the darkest of night_ .....

_At first, sleeping were the only place my mind settled in, cause I know, I will get the chance to dream about you and see you there, get the opportunity to do things the way I planned my perfect future with, not knowing my longevity and proximity in my dream were a false hope_ .....

_At the latter part of my life with you, I realized you were the part of me that exist outside my body, its felt like a torture, which I cannot and will not give up. I just came into a conclusion that I have a brain parasite which will be the number one suspect of my corpse_ .......

_What made me thought that you would always stay, I said somethings that I should never say, you broke my heart into the tiniest pieces that even lenses couldn't detect without the help of an oil_ .....

_I might be a living human but truly I was dead long before my limbs stop functioning_ ......
