I
I was told not to find happiness in inanimate objects.
I wish someone would've told me that about people.
I found greatness, strength, happiness, and purpose in your eyes.
I never thought I could get so close to someone.
I looked so deep into your eyes until I could see myself.
I hugged you so long I forgot to breathe.
Every breath became shorter and shorter the closer I got to you.
I squeezed your hand so tightly that your imprint was left in my palms.
Saying goodbye was always the hardest thing for me.
Knowing each second we had could be our last terrified me.
I wish I didn't find myself in you.
I wish I didn't fall deeply in love with your perfections and flaws,
And I know the consequences I faced isn't your fault,
But you ripped my heart to pieces and I had to tape everything back together.
Losing the best thing I've ever had led to the worst result possible,
I don’t think I’ll be able to trust anyone with my emotions anymore
But I really hope someone will change my thoughts,
I hope I will find someone better than you,
Someone that will admire me
And treat me better than I did to you.

Heart break always leads to the best poetry. After dealing with a recent seperation in my relationship I've had to find ways to express my thoughts and feelings. This is just another thought out of a billion more. Enjoy and leave comments.
