She posted it
for all the world to see:
That she found the perfect man,
“not 75 percent
not 99.9 percent
but 100 percent,”
whole,
one,
the one.
Something about it
ate at me
the moment I saw it.
It was such a simple word
but it took me a while
to figure it out:
envy
not of her beautiful face
or beautiful body
(I had those too
when I was her age
and have no reason to think
hers wouldn’t also
eventually fade),
not of the fact
that she’s with somebody
but of the innocence she has
that I can well remember
but know
I can never recover
a tragedy
to realize
a part of your life
is lost
and you didn’t even know
at the time
that it was this important
I could not bear to be close to her
and be there to see it
when reality
catches up
on her naïveté
and breaks her heart
so I sent her away
I couldn’t protect her
so I protected myself
from being reminded
that something that feels so right
could all too suddenly
go so wrong
.
wow~~~ beautiful… you wrote this mam?
“something that feels so right
could all too suddenly
go so wrong”
Sad, but too true. It happens all too often that you begin to wonder if relationships are even worth it… until you fall all over again.

it’s always so unexplainable wut goes thru me when beauty is so sadly executed.
