Loved you once, love you still

I am crying inside, through all the pain and the lies.
I feel empty and incomplete, all the ways life can cheat.
You have a piece of my heart, but we fell apart.
We both grew so fast, but now we are part of the past.
My heart aches when I think of you, and I have no idea what to do.
There is no going back, just add the pain to the stack.
We were so perfect together, but nothing lasts forever.
I am trying to act strong, but we were both wrong.
My stomach is in knots, as you are in my thoughts.
I yearn for your care, but wonder if it was ever there.
I want to improve, but my heart will not move.
Loved you once, love you still. Always have, always will.
