Reality Poem by amanda currier

i knew it would happen eventually
i knew this thing was not going to last forever
but that didn't make goodbye any easier.

seeing you and knowing i'll never hold you again is a harsh reality to deal with but i don't have a choice because i know holding on isn't healthy.
and knowing i fell harder than you did make me feel pathetic and stupid.
but i try to remember that there were no promises made and there wasn't any certainty or false hope that this would all work out my way. There was no i love you, or i want to be with you forever. it was a chance. it was a leap of faith we took on each other.

It was a summer romance. one that will give me memories i'll hold on to for the rest of my life. One that proved that feelings can go just as quicky as they came. and its something that proved to me that no matter how bad you want something, and how hard you work for it it doesn't always work out the way you want it to.
