In another life, I could love you

They say love comes unexpectedly

But they never told me how it leaves

Suddenly, painfully, helplessly

 

And this is just another poem about you

But unlike the other ones from before

It's the last of it all, with no more

 

See I already felt it coming

Long before it all fell apart

Before it shattered my living heart

 

Usually in books, they talk about heartbreaks

Emotional stress, vulnerability, and crying

But they never mentioned physical heart aches

 

The throbbing, and the sobbing

And what feels like a bullet clashing

Every millisecond, pounding, literally breaking

 

And it's something chocolates can't fix

And obviously, neither will the chick-flicks

Something not even sleep could do the trick

 

I've realized we grew apart

Became distant, not just because of the miles

Already separating us apart

 

And I know I've pushed you away

Leaving you in dismay

Unsure of tomorrow, scared of yesterday

 

But I didn't know you knew

Knowledged of the game I've put you through

Unaware that you could hurt me too

 

Now all's been said and done

I've lost the better part of me, my number one

My lover, my bestfriend, all gone

 

Unlike other scenarios, I choose to act differently

I aim to take it well, and not selflessly

I won't let my vulnerability get to me

 

And now I know better

Right now pathetically missing you

Wouldn't do

 

And someday, hopefully

We'll meet again, in a parallel universe

Within each other's existence, unknowingly

 

Maybe then, in another life, I could love you

 

But for now thank you for the pain and tragedy

I needed it for my poetry.

Notes

"I miss you" letters, #6. I think this will be the last of it. Am truly sorry for writing a little too much "I miss you" poems. I'll get back to writing about other topics soon as inspiration kicks in!

I'd just like to thank an old friend (who still hopefully reads this haha), who'd helped me figure out my self little by little, and made me realize "Our hearts are muscles too, and the more they get hurt the stronger they become". Thank you.

And of course, to a special friend whom I owe all my poems to.. My half, my backbone, my personal support committee. My inspiration. Thank you for the pain. It did my poetry well. And I hope one day we'll meet in an alternate universe, not knowing each other, and maybe in that world I can be with you. But until then, please find someone who'll be as grateful as I was to have you.
