Reflection

Two weeks to the day was when things ended between you and I,

And I no longer feel the need to sit here and ask myself why.

Why I wasn’t good enough for you, and why I couldn’t be what you wanted,

And that the memories between you and I no longer make me feel haunted.

Because you were in my life for a season, and it was a pleasant time,

Even if I never had the opportunity to call you mine. 

Because there was a time when you made me happy, and I know there was a time where I made 

you feel the same,

Because even if it didn’t work out, there really is no one to blame.

Things happened, it didn’t play out the way that we wanted it to, and that is okay,

And I am slowly learning that it will slowly get easier everyday.

Within this time, I have been able to think through things a lot,

And I am very grateful for the memories that we made and the lessons that were taught.

As much I want to, I can’t sit here and completely blame you,

Because I know that there were some things that you probably wished I didn’t do.

And that is okay, that is how we learn and that is how we grow,

But the biggest lesson that I have learned from this is that if you don’t try then you will never 

know,

Because if I hadn’t gone for it, then I would have always wondered what would have happened 

in the end,

Because then there would be no chance that you would ever looked at me as more than just a 

friend.

And even though I secretly will always wish that me and you had a different ending,

I will always look at our history and wonder if our story is worth mending. 

To be honest, I think it will happen because it doesn’t feel right for us to be apart,

Because no matter what you say, there was a connection between us from the start. 

Maybe we were just meant to be friends and not be anything more,

And that is okay, because I am fine with shutting that door.

Because I do miss having you as a friend, and I miss the way that we would hang out and the 

conversations that we had,

And I think about the way it ended, and I do feel bad.

For my part in the way that things ended between you and I,

But I am not going sit here and pretend that you are an innocent guy.

We both messed up, and we both were wrong,

Because we both had secrets that we kept quiet about for too long.
