Reminiscence of Love
August 25, 2014
It's a paralyzing thing
When you know your actions were right
But your emotions were all wrong
When you want it all back
But it's already gone
Being happy and content is such a fleeting thing
But when the stars misalign
What a tragedy it brings
I am in love, the purest of kinds
Such a difficult treasure that is so hard to find
But it tears me apart
Each and every second that reveals
That I destroyed your heart.

I had just opened a new message when the first line played through my head, and I determined I needed to grab my pen and paper. The previous summer had been such a cliche teenage love story for me, so of course there was much confusion, hurt, and longing for the past, but I had never articulated my emotions into a poem. I hope others find they can relate to the simplicity of the words, but the complexity of the meaning and are able to use it to reflect on their own lives.
