Her ability to be vulnerable
To the one she loves
Was gone.

Or maybe
It was never there.

Who knows?

Either way,
She knew that there wouldn't be a change
Of heart or mind from her lover.

You can never change a person,
No matter how much you wish they would.

They can only change themselves willingly.

It has to be their choice.

So she hopes.

But it may just be fruitless.

A girl, with too big of a heart,
In love with a boy whose empathy
May be lacking.

Making her too much for him.

Maybe, just maybe,
These lovers were doomed from the start.

Maybe their love shined too bright
To be true.

Maybe it burned too bright,
Causing it to burn out fast.
