Goodbyes

If I said I've never been one for love songs

My mom and I would say thats a lie

But I know all too well

That love ends in goodbyes.

You might catch the boy of your dreams

But all is for naught if you aren't his dream come true.

You might get your happy ending

Until death does part you.

We love the idea of love

But opening your heart and giving out the key

Is a series of beautiful stories

That all end in tragedy.

I like to choose another view

To love another is a blessing

A bigger blessing is someone who loves you

The biggest blessing is matching timings.

I give my thanks each time love ends

I count my blessings as I pick up the pieces

I don't delete them or their pictures

I don't want to pretend they never existed

Once they were mine

And I'll never pretend thats a lie

We had fun together

We simply didn't fully meet eye to eye

I know that love often ends in pain

But I'll keep trying all the same

Loving someone and being loved is so much fun

And I'm addicted to the high

I've had a lot of relationships over the years and I ended up adopting a very dark view of love because of all the goodbyes I had to learn to make, but the optimist and adrenaline-junkie inside me love trying again and again, and never truly finish letting go of my past because it builds my future. I don't delete pictures, just move them to storage because I feel like I'm deleting memories as long as I'm still attached to the photo. All these whirling pieces of my emotions carved out this poem.
