Growing Apart Instead of Growing Together

Growing apart instead of growing together

Growing apart instead 
of growing together

With the one person that meant
everything and more to you 

Is truly saddening 

And it is difficult to weather

Especially when a gravitational 
pull starts pulling at your spirits 

Taking the two of you in 
completely different directions 

But unfortunately instead of
living with a partner 
that you used to know so well 
that you loved with every 
ounce of your heart and soul

It's like living with a room mate

Because you have grown 
apart from each other

And when you reach that point 

When you are no longer able 
to communicate with each other

It literally breaks your heart

And that’s when reality 
hits you in the head

Because you know that 
the relationship is dead

And you start living 
two separate lives

And no matter how hurtful it can be
and how painful it is
you have to try and remain optimistic

So that you can stay focused 
on each day as it comes

And that is the only 
thing that you can do

Because it will take you some 
time before you can 
actually heal after it is all over

And that alone can truly be heartbreaking

Especially when you had hopes and dreams
that the relationship would last forever
