We unwittingly became intertwined
Believing that our hearts could be pleasantly aligned
Although truthfully our souls were greatly confined
Stop your crying my love, it’s a sign of the times
Here we were doing that chaotic dance of so called romance
Were we masking the fact that we weren’t intact
Could it be that self love is what both of us lacked
Idealising a fantasy of what could be
Did we get caught up, ignoring the underlying misery
We can never be since it’s unrequited, you see
We must first help ourselves before we can love anyone else
And so we’ve become unwarrantedly intertwined
Only to unravel everything bound so closely together
Until all that’s left is a fragile memory that can only be treasured

What I’ve discovered is that with anything you do in life
There are moments of good and times of bad
The good should outweigh the bad but you can’t deny its existence
Negative moments are inevitable and we shouldn’t put up a resistance
But rather let’s accept that reality is not all peaches and cream
Sometimes there’s a lot going on behind the scenes
It’s okay to embrace the darkness of the night
Let yourself process until your chest isn’t so tight
Because when life hands you situations out of your control
You’ve got to let go and not allow them to take a toll
Feel, process, release, repeat
Don’t let the bad take you in defeat
