Breathing you

Love is like an invisible string,
You can feel the pull and attachment towards another person
And you feel restricted when you are without them.
I was a porcelain doll made to handle with care
Easily enchanted by your warm smile
And bright glint in your eyes. 
My soul gave my heart permission to open myself up 
While the chains it was locked up with broke. 
At first, I never understood love
I thought it was just about the physical;
The kissing, caresses and hand holding.
But it is also the emotional connection 
That is like a hidden treasure buried deep within 
Waiting to be discovered by the person who holds the map.
It is a melody that plays softly in the background of our lives
And someone else is the musician. 
Now that I know what love is, I know ours was fake.
Looking back, I think I liked the idea of loving you 
More than being in love with you.
I can only describe it as being a beautiful and perfectly wrapped gift, 
But there is nothing but air inside
And now I sit here disappointed.
I was a naive girl drawn in by the allure 
But after peeling away the layers 
All I found was emptiness.
