“

I pushed back all of the memories

that you and I once lived through together,

like the moments when we felt like

we were infinitely in love.

But now it seems as though everything

that we once built no longer has the strength

to stand up on its own. All that remains is a

disaster that is just waiting to be acknowledged

in utter disbelief.

Some used to compare our love to an accident,

but I believed we lived like a tattered situation.

One that was built on a base of too many words

that were shared between people

that never had the ability to explain themselves

without skipping over the important details,

like where they started to go wrong,

or how they managed to live through

the shocking reality of heartache.

You once said to me

that our feelings for each other

had been more fatal than any disease,

and more dangerous than any weapon.

And as I go back to read the pages

of the story that we had created together,

I finally discover words that went unnoticed,

and roads that have remained

too foreign to be able to navigate through.

I understand now that there is

no map precise enough to help guide us

to the destinations we desire.

This path is cautiously paved in

misconceptions and misunderstandings,

and with each step, I find myself closer

to the discovery that this love of ours

was never going to be a story

that was intended to end happily.
