why love

I felt it the day I saw you walking towards me, that feeling people call love. I looked at you with a smile hoping you would return it, a smile in return turned into something more. You grabbed my hand and held it so tight that nothing could break us apart, pulling you towards me my heart began to beat faster than before, when you told me you loved me my heart melted and i fell into a daze. It was amazing for sometime then it ended with a good bye. As you walked away my heart sank so deep it broke...now all that I am left with are memories to remember, pictures to look at, and a broken heart to live with. I still dont understand why they call it love if it hurts so bad!
