Maybe

uploaded from my other account- 'ForbiddenLovers' Don't you always end your relationships wondering why?

Maybe it would’ve been better to die then to watch you leave.
While you left I felt my heart being crushed
I was positive it would’ve hurt less to die.

Maybe I could’ve been happier if we’d never met.
Then I’d never have to deal with
Saying goodbye

Maybe I fell in love with you because you were the nicest one to me
I remember you always stuck up for me
When I was feeling down

Maybe there will be a day when the two of us can sit and talk
So I can really understand
What you’re thinking.

Maybe I wasn’t good enough for you
It really could’ve just been
All my fault.

Maybe you never loved me
And everything you did
Came from pity.

Maybe I was too engrossed in you to see it coming
Too absorbed with you
To see that we were falling apart at the seams.

But in all these maybes…
I will never know
I can’t regret
I can never regret….
I’ll have to wait and see
Because maybe this made me stronger

Some of the things that go through my head when a powerful relationship ends.

even when ended on the best of terms, the ending of relationships is never easy. i think everything we experience, good and bad, teaches us something; helps us grow into ourselves just a little bit more. i loved the ending here; no regrets. there is no bitterness here; just the questions that we always ask when we or someone we love says good-bye...all the "why" that we never really find the answers to.

This is my favourite poem of yours thus far that I have read. The emotions are something that I believe almost anyone can relate to, and the questions are something I feel most people ask themselves at the end of a relationship, especially when the feelings were very strong. I have felt this way myself, and you have captured it almost perfectly with your words...the cycle that we go through, and if the heartache or bitterness does not consume us in the end, we do tend to look back and say 'maybe this made me stronger'.

this is how we always know that we are in love. you will never be too sure of how much you are in love, until you lose what you love just so much. this is so amazing - and i relate to you just as much as you can relate to me.

awesome job.

Regrets are an essential part
originating in the heart
of coming to terms with the past
But somethings are not meant to last
par for the course we cant divorce
ourselves from feelings of remorse
But life goes on and so must you
You have no choice in what you do.
