Because Of You

Because of you I love everyone not really loving anyone. Your absence is why true love never lived here and for it I cannot find a definition to help me grasp what it truly may mean. How is it possible for me to love without really loving at all? My love for others comes easily because I'm trying to fill up an empty place in my heart. A place that should have been yours but you never met. A lost love for me doesn't hurt for long because of you I've learned life must go on. Is it love at all? Or are these people I claim to love just pawns in my life of chess? A thought process trying to escape or replace that one person I love to hate and hate to love.
