She never said I could reach the moon.
She never said I could see the stars at night.
She never said you and I would be good together.
So many things that were never said.
But maybe, baby.
They should have been.
Cause she never said we couldn’t, we wouldn’t, we shouldn’t.
But then again, she never said we could, we would, or we should.
But deep, down, inside.
I know we’re meant to be.
Please believe.


She never said I could dream with my eyes open.
But I’m always dreaming about you.
She never said I could be broken.
But nothing’s hurt this much before.
She never said I could remember anything.
But I’ll never forget your face.
All things that could have, would have, and should have been said.

She never said I couldn’t amount to anything.
But I’ve never fallen this hard before.
She never said I couldn’t be anything I wanted.
But I’ve never been this lost before.
She never said I couldn’t believe in myself.
But I’ve never had any confidence.
All things that could have, would have, and should have been said.

This is inspired by something that I am currently going through in my life. It's not easy being in love with someone that you thought felt the same and they said they did but then something changed one day and all the sudden they don't feel the same, but you still do and you can't seem to stop loving them no matter what they do.

to be braver than my past
to be stronger than the struggle
So that I may find a bigger adventure regardless of the risks"

I think you used a good amount of repetition and you used it right. It gave the poem emotion and showed some of the helplessness felt, in a better way.
