Reality of You

I loved a version of you,
But not you.
I loved a man I thought I knew,
But he wasn't you.
I was in love with love,
But not you.
I was hurt by love,
But not by you.
I was left by love,
But not by you.
I was disgraced by love,
But not by you.
I was left lonely by love,
But not by you.
I was left scathed by love,
But not by you.
Because you were never you.
