I wish it were easy to hate you.
But you were gentle and kind

You were soft spoken and careful,
You were passionately mine.

You never cheated, hit me or lied,
You just  pushed my love aside
No hesitation & no cries.

Like I was nothing all along
But for me you were my life.
Good guys break hearts too.

My love for you is never ending and everlasting.
You're the one I'll forever adore.
My heart skips a beat when I see you, you're mesmerising.
You're the joy in my heart as well as the pain
because without you I'm empty
but with you I'm fulfilled.

I surprise myself. Everyday.

I’ve overcome obstacles and emotions and grief that I never thought would leave.
I’ve dried tears I didn’t think would stop falling.

I’ve learnt to forgive despite never getting an apology.
I’ve learnt to keep loving despite getting my heart bruised time and time again.

I’ve learnt that there’s beauty in having a big heart,
And liberation in letting go of a love that doesn’t fill it.

My soul aches, my heart breaks
Everyday
I begged you to stay, one too many times
My mistake
Because maybe, well clearly you were never meant to be my forever
Despite writing the story about our love being eternal together.

She Writes
There is too much regret
In unspoken words
The quiet thoughts
Whispered only to the moon

There is too much longing
In wishful thinking
Daydreams
Can quickly become a nightmare

There are too many tears
Spilled onto pillows
Over suffering and longing
From words unsaid

— The End —
