Maybe

Maybe it was never supposed to be perfect
Maybe it was always meant to ache,
To hurt beyond measure
To leave us both in ruin

Maybe we were always meant to be apart
To see the sun through different eyes
To see the world darker
Never be friends with the light

And maybe, just maybe,
That pain would make us realize
How perfect it all was
Perfect enough to hurt in the end

The story behind the words:

I wrote this piece reflecting on the way memories can erase all the bad and let everything seem magical. The way something far from perfect can seem to have been the most marvelous thing in the whole world as the years go by.

Thank you for reading.

As always, have a great day,
