heartbreak season

times moved on, and i’m here forgetting. memories blur, i can’t remember the sound of your laugh, the way you said my name, and the way my heart felt when i was with you. darling i’ve been left with only sadness for a long time, longer than i’d care to admit. i never knew how overwhelming it could be, how it comes in waves. how heartbreaking it is to live with it. i will have loved you for ten years. nearly a third of my life. and in that time i’ve been half in love, half heartbreak. i never knew how much joy you’d bring, you would always light up the room, everyone loved you and i would always want to be the one to make you laugh. and i never realised when you’d leave how much sadness it would bring. i never knew it would linger, that it would become a part of me. i know i never told you a lot of things, all the things i should have told you. i should have told you – you were my first love, the one that felt real. i never imagined that you’d become a stranger, someone i’d no longer know. i miss you, yet now i don’t know now if i could ever just be your friend. maybe this distance between us was a blessing, but darling it feels like a curse. maybe we weren’t meant to withstand the test of time. maybe we weren’t meant to be together, but god i regret a lot of things when it comes to you and i’d go back in a heartbeat, for just more time with you.

i dreamed that i’d be waiting for you, watching you walk down the aisle. but that’s just a dream. one now i know will never come true. 

you looked beautiful, all in white. i’ve been seeing pockets of your life for years now. darling time has caught up to me, and i didn’t realise how much we faded from each others memory. i never wanted to become a stranger to you, with messages left on read, no reply. i wish i could say time has healed but it hasn’t especially the place in my heart left by you. i’m haunted by dreams of what could have been, if only i made a different choice that night. maybe i’d be with you. i was so scared of admitting my feelings and losing you but now i’m left with only your ghost haunting these memories. darling there was a time in my life where everything revolved around you, nothing else mattered. i will never know if my love was requited. sleep never comes easy, often i dream of you, sometimes it’s in the form of old memories, happy ones. time and time again some dreams give me second chance to make a different choice. and with that choice i always choose you. i was foolish years ago not kissing you that night because that’s all i wanted to do. i lost you when the years came and went with no reply, i never not thought we’d be in each others lives. i thought we’d always be ‘us’. time changed and we grew apart. and i should have taken those chances because at least then i would have known what it was like to kiss you, to have risked having my heart broken because the latter of not taking those chances has left regret. darling i must confess i’ve loved you for nearly ten years and i never told you how i felt. it was always here in my words yet they could never leave my lips. loving you were some of the best years of my life. i didn’t see you walking down the aisle, i wasn’t there waiting for you like my dream. i’m sorry i never told you how i felt. and now i never will because your happy and that’s all i ever wanted. so i’ll settle for the photographs laying here with all the letters never to be sent.
