Rhetorical Questions

How is that the people we love the most, the ones we should be the closest to, we allow to walk away, lose a connection? When did I quit being honest? When did I give up? Why do we hurt the ones we love the most? Why do we hold each other to such impossible standards? Why is it never good enough to just be, to live our lives? Why are there such ridiculous expectations? Will we ever be able to just sit in a room and not judge? Does any one every truly just love another? What would happen if we all were totally transparent, honest? Would we still love each other, would we walk away, never to come back? Would we be horrified, ashamed? Maybe it would confirm our deepest fears, our greatest dreams? When did we start taking each other for granted? Why does it even matter? What if it never changes? What if it all changes?

Beautiful

How do you say goodbye to something so beautiful? How do you let go of someone you adore? What do you do when your gut tells you to go one direction, but every other part of you wants something else? I'm sorry that I hurt you. I guess we both knew it would happen, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. I want to tell you that I didn't mean it, that we can figure it out, but that would just be a bandaid, a mask, it would only serve to prolong the heartache. So, instead, I am going to be honest, do what my gut is telling me I have to do. I am so glad that I met you, that we took this journey. It was more beautiful, more meaningful then I had ever dreamed possible. Thank you.
