there he is 

just sitting right over there 

you don't know it yet

but you are about to go voyaging

on the greatest adventure of your life 


he passes by 

takes a quick glance at you 

but is suddenly caught in your smile 

creating a wonderful connection 

where feelings become intertwined 

what only felt like 2 minutes together

was practically a lifetime 


the bond you now share 

is as if it can never be broken 

the only sad thing about it 

both of you now have something to lose

something that can turn all that happiness 

into sorrow and strife 


yet everything is still perfect 

he smiles when you walk by

and now all you can do is smile 

you are constantly thinking about him

wondering if he is thinking about you 

the content thoughts keep you up all night 

And lead you through the days ahead

 

before you know it he says I love you 

and you say it back without hesitation 

because those words were fighting to come out

since the first day you laid eyes on him 

now everything is up in the air 

And all seems to be special 


one month went by like a minute 

two months like a second 

but then something changes 

one minute with him feels like an hour

two minutes like a day 

and the worst part about it all 

is that you have no clue why 


you try so hard to make him satisfied

and he just pushes away 

maybe he just needs some space

but why only from you?

the connection you once had begins to fade 

and whether you realize it or not 

nothing can bring it back 


you begin to think your imperfections are the cause 

and he can only see you through your flaws 

you are now constantly thinking about him 

wondering if he even cares about you 

those bitter thoughts keep you up all night 

and drags you through the days ahead 

 

 

the sadness seems almost unbearable 

you just want to give up on it all

but the fact that you still love him 

torchers you 

holding you by a single thread


then all of a sudden 

that thread snaps

you are no longer with the boy you love 

but you should have seen this coming 

because nothing is more clear 

than when someone stops loving you 


this roller coaster of an adventure 

may have left you with a broken heart 

but how else is love supposed to get in 

then through the cracks made in the past 

so don't be afraid to go on another adventure 

because your heart can be filled again

with enjoyment and bliss 

and maybe this time 

just maybe 

this new adventure will never come to an end

This poem is about how relationships become amazing and fall apart just like that. The one thing that you should get out of this is that these experiences of loss gets you through the next relationship of love.
