I haven't loved you for a long time

I haven't loved you for a long time

A sunny, lively day in crowded Belgrade,
I'm walking around looking at foreign smiling faces,
I suddenly notice you, who was everything to me,
and now just one in a crowd, what nonsense.

I watch you, our eyes meet,
we approach each other avoiding each other,
even though we are exes, we greet each other awkwardly,
the awkwardness is obvious, these are not finesse.

We talk about what happened to us since the breakup,
the words flow, while you lose yourself in my view,
you are looking for the old sparkle in vain, I haven't loved you for a long time,
when love died, the sparkle went out with it.

If we're going to be honest, I never even loved you,
but the product of my desires and your lies,
the fictional you that you served me,
but I honestly prefer pain to fake love.

I'm glad to see you, but nothing more,
now you're just a story from my past,
if you ever need help I'll be there,
no bad blood, forgiveness is part of maturity.
