Life is a funny thing.
I've learned

that the things that seem so incredibly important

Now

actually aren't in the future.
they are choices that lead me to now,
where I deal with more and more choices

you were one of those choices,
one that I didn't choose.

How does that work

I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to

What I can tell you is that I loved you,
I thought you were it for me

I was ready to use my choices to follow you,
to continue to grow
with you

Inspired by you.

It just wasn't meant to be
I still don't know why

but

I trust that it was for the best.

Now,
I live in a whole new world.
one with stories of grown ups
that live the lives I never knew existed

I'm surrounded by a new language
that I'm struggling to

learn, all on my own

right now with the clouds that
filter through
my
mind I know that we are no longer

In the same time frame
maybe we never were

new thoughts, ideas, feelings,
emotions, words, laughter,
people, silence

are yelling for me to realize that
what we had nothing

compared to what awaits me.

I could say that I loved you....

that's
what I thought

for

such a long time.

Now I know that I thought I loved you
but I never
really

did.

I'm sorry.
