I am the unrequited love

I’m so sorry…

••

you are everything I have wanted.

you found me when I lost everything

and gave me the courage to live again,

to love again.

•

I was ready to seal my heart off and never let anyone in…

but you,

you found your way into my heart and opened it up again.

•

I am shattered into a million pieces,

slowly trying to fit them back together.

and while some of these pieces love you with all they have.

others can’t let go of the past.

•

your soul is so beautiful

I can’t wait to watch you grow and succeed.

your mind is creative and clever,

bringing me peace I have not known in a long time.

your heart is so full of kindness

even though the world has not always been kind to you.

your eyes are the comforting blue waves as they look at me

as if I’m the most beautiful thing in the world.

•

Maybe if we met sooner,

before the tragedies that befell onto me.

or maybe if we met later,

when i mended myself back together.

•

Maybe

we are the trope of the right person

but the wrong time

•

yet

in a way

it was the right time,

because if you didn’t come into my life,

I would have fallen into the darkness

and this time

I don’t think I would have found my way out.

you saved me.

and for that

you will forever have a piece of my heart,

even if I am unable to give you all of it.
