Are you still in love?

we're different,
apart from accompanying each other,
we have nothing in common.
I'd hate to bother,
about this but we do have some fun...

We're broken at the same places,
watching our friends reunite with people we besotted. 
We see them hand in hand,
laughing at something we have no clue about.
It makes us awkward when they talk to each other 
in front of us, in and out. 
We see them and realise they are flawless,
we see ourselves and see imperfections everywhere. 
Our lives are such a mess,
meanwhile...they look at each other in love and care. 

It bothers me so much,
even though I'm not in throes of love anymore.
Are you, my partner? 
Is your love-deprived scar still sore?
