I'm In Love Not Addicted To Love by A.L Tan

I woke up today on my birthday.
Wondering if my wish will come true today.

Since we stopped chatting 4 days ago.
I've decided to just let my feelings show.
You'll never know the tears I cried the day you stopped from replying.

I wonder how will my day be?
Will you say Happy Birthday to me?

My heart leap with joy at 0542.
When my phone rang a message from  you.

I wasn't sure what to text back.
I'm just happy that we are chatting back.

Soon I replied back your text.
With the word love in my text.

We continued on to chat.
I got busy for work and soon missed a text.

When I realised that I have received your text.
The time was already 0752 but I continued to reply as I always do.

As the day passes by,
I had time to sit and ponder on life.

I realised that it's different this time.
The things between you and I.

I think the 4 days of silence from you.
Made me stopped feeling attached to you.

I no longer long for you.
However, I still think of you.

I no longer am anxious for your reply.
However,  I still want to keep in touch with you.

I no longer am jealous when others are with you.
However,  I still desire to spend time with you.

I no longer need you to tell me everything. However, I still care for you.

There is only one change that I can think.

I'm still in love with you.
Just no more addicted to you.
