Great love

I expected a great love...
The words were not mine,
But left a scratch on my heart
That won't leave me with time.

Expected a great love?
I don't believe I ever had,
So for a moment, I paused,
And embraced the sad.

My life is of moments,
No grand fairy story,
No happily ever afters,
No basking in glory.

Yet, though 'true love'
Does not ring true.
It does not mean,
That I don't love you
