Contemplations Vo.2

I sit here pencil in hand
Writing to my reflection staring back from the mirror
Contemplating the idea of love
How can one give one’s all with no return?
Put it all on the line, time after time,
And in the end get burned?
You find yourself truly believing that this is the one
With whom you will spend the rest of your life
And then you find this person with your best friend
Neither of whom show any remorse or guilt
But rather they go on their merry way
Leaving you in the dust of their adultury
And then there is the time when you do fall in love
You and your partner truly do love each other
But the outside world tears you apart
And if you are lucky, you can remain friends
And even though you both move on
You still love each other and that love won’t fade
No matter what gets thrown your way
But, soon you find yourself chasing
After something you can’t have
And although you slowly realize this,
Something inside you won’t give this obsession up
Knowing the cance of something happening is minimal, at best
And yet, the romantic in you won’t give it up
For you were raised on the ideal of “happily ever after”
And although the world tends to show otherwise,
Again you can’t give this infatuation up
Because in doing so, you believe that a piece of you,
That piece that wants to believe in fairy tales,
It dies, desrtoying what is left of your fading hope
Your hope that the world isn’t heartless
That every act of kindness isn’t shadowed by destruction
Maybe someday you will fall in love
And that love will be returned
Maybe someday you will realize that a broken heart can mend
And you will have your happy ending,
Your “happily ever after”
But for now you will have to wait
For the one you love is taken by another
And although you know you love deserves better,
As long as this person is happy, you can accept this
For at least one of you is happy
