The Struggle Of Letting Go.

Location

Back in 2012, you were unexpected, but I was still happy I saw you.

I became immediately in awe of your appearance and every aspect of your physique. 

Everytime we would see each other, you would warm my heart with a smile.

I never knew that a complete stranger could come in like a thief in the night, and steal my heart. 

We became connected to each other but only one of us became attached. 

As I became more attached to you, I began losing pieces of myself.

I foolishly depended my happiness upon you.

I foolishly believed that we could've been more than just "strangers."

I foolishly believed that you cared.

When I seen that you had found somebody else, it devastated me.

I thought I meant more to you than them.

How did I let this happen?

It's there fault not mine because they're the one that's going to miss out on me.

No, it's my fault. They seen right through me and could tell that I was nothing more than a coward.

As these thoughts would circulate my mind every second of my days and nights,

My soul plundered.

I kept holding on because I truly believed that you would come back.

2013 flew by with no sign of your presence in my life.

I fell too hard for you and i'll regret it for the rest of my life.

I need to let you go because it is the best thing for me to do in order to move foward.

But it's hard letting go of what your heart wont let you.
