I was going through my emails
deleting some of them
for some reason, I decided to look through the sent folder.
scrolling and scrolling
until one email caught my eye
it was the one with your name on it
if anyone were to ask i'd answer no i don't regret it

this is for anyone going through anything at the moment
lots of people might say it's going to be okay, or it'll get better
while that is helpful
you might not feel that way
in case you're feeling that way right now
take all the time you need, be gentle with yourself
give yourself tender loving care

love when you've found it
is very beautiful
love truly is something to be treasured and cherished
perhaps that's why I hold it close to my chest and nurture it everyday
like my favorite flower

When I think of the word love
it makes me think of someone saying this to me
''I'll be with you through the good days and your bad days''
holding my hand through those times

Falling out of love with you
it was a slow process
I wasn't prepared for the feelings
I still had wrapped up in this poem
Receipt still unclear
Just like I wanted

Avoiding certain songs
Memories of how it used to be between us
danced around in my head
I think of our love as a golden heart shaped necklace
that has been preserved
Stashed away to never be open again
the sadness that I felt when I wrote this poem
was truly one where I didn't like facing the truth
but I accepted it eventually
no longer living in denial
I still can't believe how everything unfolded
The anger & sadness
Embracing both at one point
instead of pushing my feelings away
It felt therapeutic to finally not push my feelings
away
The love we had was rare
But the pain I'll always keep in mind
as a reminder to myself
In order to stay strong
For when you finally realize what you lost

As I search the internet trying to find the right quote for summing  up grief
I decided to just stop trying to find that quote
because honestly nothing could've prepared me to face the familiar feelings once again
no matter how the news is given to me
It still isn't easy
words left unspoken or words that I meant to say but now it's too late
writing my feelings helps every once in a while
on paper at least
sadness still remains
certain days are the hardest
but in my mind you still live on

The Sun is in love.
The Moon is in love.
But what they have is a forbidden love.
The Sun chases the Moon.
The Moon chases the Sun.
But a force greater than that forbids their love.
They will never reach each other,
No matter how hard they try.
A Romeo and Juliet story, once again.
They know their bond won't last very long
Because the Sun and the Moon have a forbidden love.
Follow-up to the "Sun and Moon" poem- created by Ann C.

Tell me why we met only to have a crash course
In distance
Everything I knew
Was falling apart like confetti
All I wanted was a lover’s embrace
Although I felt the need to retreat for several months
After a month of freedom and fresh air
I reemerge
Stronger than ever
Although I wish I didn’t have to shut you out and run from the fallout
When I finally realized that the fallout was over
I was left wondering why did I have to fall so fast
Only to become a stranger to the one person I loved
Which was myself
