Why? Why me? What did I do wrong?

Is this punishment?

Or is this divine intervention?

It seems cruel

I used to believe in “for the best”

But you reach a point where “for the best” hurts too much

You we’re a good person. You did great things.

And then this. Feelings are expressed, expressions are mutual

And then expression reaches realization.

And then realization reaches sadness

And then you try to make the sadness dissipate by saying “just for now not forever”

And then that creates hope

And then you forget the sadness

And then everything is great

And then you talk everyday

And then you make plans

And then those plans get executed

And then “not forever” is true

And then “soon”

And then you get to the airport

And then you send a text that says “I love you i’ll see you soon”

And then the plane leaves…

But

But then the plane is late

But then a text is sent saying “Where are you?”

But then a call “Are you okay? Call me back”

But then a feeling is expressed, the expression isn’t mutual (or so it seems)

But then expression reaches realization

But then realization reaches sadness

But then the sadness doesn’t dissipate

There is no hope

There is no forgetting

Only a window where I can sit and watch your pain from the other side

And hope that you will one day forget this sadness and that “I love you, I’ll see you soon”
