You and Me

It was always so difficult, to be in love with you.
My worry and fears were strong, maybe you felt it too.
The feelings went sour long before, you finally said goodbye.
Maybe all I did was hurt myself, and I thought that I could hide.
I used to blame myself, for making you let me go.
I'd tell myself you tried, but my answer was always no.
Thoughts of you would creep in, and my eyes start to water.
Maybe I should have said yes, maybe it would have worked out.
Deep down, I knew the demons I fight would pull me down, I'd hate it.
But I guess I loved you more, 'cause if you did, you would have waited.

I love it ....... I know, to fall in love is not very easy and to keep that love alive is a battle too... and even if one is not putting the efforts then the battle is lost.... and sometimes our past happenings make us doubt the strength of love and we tend to take a step back..... I enjoyed reading... :)

I loved reading this. The last sentence was particularly impactful and you gave such a chilling ending. Thanks for writing this beautiful piece.

Oh the "what ifs'. Love is not always cut and dried, if only! You penned this from as mind and heart that is still having doubts, but knowing this was inevitable. Keep strong and look forward to the future with great joy. Good write!

In the end what one thinks are 'what if's and maybes'
Reality is very nicely expressed, keep it up.

Yeah, sad isn't it? the process of letting go and moving on. I guess that's just life.

[Najam Us Saher]

Absolutely right. Life is not always about moving on, it is about keeping yourself and others happy in the process.

[Avia]

True, and above all, your personal happiness.

[Najam Us Saher]
