Echoes

In the realm of unanswered questions,
My mind echoes with a persistent "why."
Are you a karmic partner, destined to settle debts from our past life?
Perhaps our astrological aspects failed to align, a negative conjunction is making me sigh?
Did fate intertwine us, or angels pave a divine path?
Did I radiate the energy you sought,
Where did my manifestation reroute?
Did our particles collide in a big bang so you felt so familiar and warm?
Are you what they call a twin-flame?
Or you were using mirroring to make me feel at home?
Was I ignoring the red flags that were there all along?

As time drifts away, it's still unclear which lesson I should embrace.
In post-breakup talks, your demeanor held a consistent harsh trace.
I am stuck in this time loop, where your face haunts each day,
As if yesterday lingered, and in my dreams you stray.
I understand I won't erase you, that's a fact I can't disown,
Yet in my nights and in my mornings, please let me be alone.
Is this a signal of remorse for choosing to be with you?
Or it's the guilt acknowledging I didn't know how to nurture happiness, how true?
Did you truly exist, or I painted all your flaws to fit so perfectly?
Maybe I should've sought to know you better before loving someone imaginary.

As Glen Close said in The Natural....
"we live two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live with after that"
Love teaches us lessons but somehow we make the same mistakes again...or just fall too easily.
