I'm not sorry for not wanting to write about you anymore

The dream of someone to write for
Is something I always chased
And for the many times I tried
Are the many times I failed
When you waltz into my life
I kind of wished you would be the one
Who I would never get tired of writing for
In the question of which came first?
The dream of you or you?
Dream came storming in years ago
Maybe that is why I often mistake true love
For the feeling itself
How many time have I fallen for the feeling
And failed in every disastrous way?
So yeah I'm done apologizing
For how I felt in that time
For wanting something so benign
Yet taken from my hand forcefully
Amidst the sea of words about you
I forgot how I would define myself
I defined love like walking on a dark alley
Getting stabbed nine times
And hoping I will not get stabbed by ten
I failed in many things 
I swear back then I wouldn't
But since I did
I traced them all back 
And they all lead to you
So I am not sorry for not wanting
To write about you anymore
Because it's time for my chapter to be written
With or without romance subplot in the middle
