a story
Took me a week to realize
That you were different
A sad different to me
Was it the new place?
The new place where you finally felt at liberty
Or
The new place where I wasn't with you
Was it those new faces?
Those new faces that made you curious
Or
Those new faces that distracted you from me
I tried not to freak out
I calmed and confronted myself almost every day
If I think more,
I might overthink and ruin us a little bit
Maybe I missed you too much
Or
Maybe I wasn't ready for all this
Maybe the distance wasn't right for us
Or
Maybe you realized that you didn't want me to be part of it
Maybe you did what felt right
Or
Maybe my cravings for an hour of your attention wasn't worth dealing with
Maybe you found yourself
Or
Maybe your heart found someone else
Maybe a tit for tat
Maybe (as they all say) it wasn't meant to be
Maybe I will never know the real truth
Or
Maybe you don't want me to stop loving you
( I usually don't write descriptions about my poem but I feel like I should explain this one. I have written this out of a dissatisfaction that I have felt. An unsatisfactory answer/reason. I haven't let it affect me but I feel like I will keep on questioning myself and at times others for an answer. Sometimes I feel like I should accept the reason but I haven't felt the truth in it. I guess I never will. If I had felt the realness in the reason, the maybes wouldn't have ever existed.)

This is what poetry is for. Eternal questions, yes, clever advice, no.
