Erase Me

My stomach hurts a little 

as I start to realize that maybe

 

I'm just not meant to be yours today,

and you're not meant to be mine. 

I love you so much 

and this hurts me deeply 

but you love someone else and

 

I want to be nothing but happy for you 

Because when someone else's happiness 

is your happiness, 

that is love.

But underneath my heartache

I feel a certain degree of contentment,

a sort of sense of relief. 

And like I said, 

maybe not today,

and maybe not tomorrow. 

But maybe the future

has something in store

for the both of us.

Remember that I love you.

< deep breathe > As I read this it inspires a future work...A sad but compassionate writing. IT happens all to commonly but seen through your eyes there is more than the usual I-am-the-center-of-the-universe feel to it. There is hope and well-wishes escorting the pain on its journey down growth's path.

Well expressed,
Thanks for sharing

Really nice,I believe we all have felt like this and some still do. love your wrighting and the way you wrote this. just one question why did you add the bye?

[Anastasia]

Thank you for your kind words! I added the "bye" to emphasize the fact that what we had was no more.

[Carl Drake Barnard]

You cant say that, :( LIke you wrote there may be hope in the future :) Dont be scared to get your hopes up but also dont put alot of faith in it YET :)

What I really like about this flow is that it speaks to me of how in life, it is often the power of hope coupled with the wisdom of reflection, that can keep us moving forward. Even when outcomes are not how we wished them to be, their emotional anchors are not as strong and their chains don't bind us. We can continue to walk on, through other people choices that we may have disagreed with.

Nice flow of ink!
