Disappointment

Perhaps I saw what I wanted to see in him and made him to be more than he was.

The tough thing about following your heart

is that people forget to mention that sometimes the heart takes you places you shouldn't be.

Places that are scary as they are exciting,

and as dangerous as alluring.

Sometimes your heart cannot take you places that lead you to that happy ending.

After a while,

you learn the different between holding a hand and falling in love.

You'll learn that sex and kisses don't always have a meaning.

Promises can be broken just as easily as they were made.

And as hard as it is to believe,

sometimes goodbyes are forever.

It's really painful to say goodbye to someone that you don't want to let go of.

But it's more painful to ask for someone to stay when they don't want to.

But it's hard to let go,

because of all the things we've been through.

All the good times and bad.

How we can just walk past each other and pretend that it never happened.

We just give each other that awkward smile and move on.

I didn't ask for it this to end,

but then again,

I didn't ask for it to begin.

For that's how it is in life.

Some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance,

but even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.
