Meant To Be... Poem by Portia Tiffany

We're meant to be hanging out and playing made up games.
You're meant to be on your oculus while I sing back up.
We're meant to be debating until I cry.
I'm meant to be trying on outfits while you take pictures.

But not this.

Your side of the bed isn't meant to be empty.
I'm not meant to be crying.
We aren't meant to be angry.
Outsiders weren't meant to have control.

But it's happening.

I wasn't meant to fall in love with you.

But I did.

I'm meant to get over it.
I'm meant to be tough.
I'm meant to enjoy things.
I'm meant to have adventures.
I'm meant to date new people.
I'm meant to kiss someone…

But I can't.

He is meant to be you.
I'm meant to be with you.
This is meant to be us.
We're meant to be together.

Nothing was meant to happen this way.

But it is.
