Welcome to a Heartbreak

Location

I saw the hurt in her eyes.

He was exactly like me.

She was exactly like him.

The lack of eye contact,

The sincere desire to make it work.

 

The lack of feelings.

The mourning process.

Determining that the other was the one,

So quickly…

 

Too quickly.

 

What am I to learn here?

 

What I do want in a relationship?

What I don’t want in a relationship?

The effect my indecisive feelings

And inadvertent disrespect for my intuition

Has had on someone else?

Or to punish me

In reliving the guilt of not being

What another wanted me to be -

Oh, where have I heard this before?

 

No, no.

 

Just learn,

To love.

 

To forgive and grow to be whole.
