I Like Beginnings

I like beginnings
When anything seems possible
When we have yet to discover
Each other's vulnerabilities and weaknesses
What buttons to push causing the other pain
And to use it far too often

I like beginnings 
When there’s no bad history or tears shed
Ill recollection that creeps up on us
When faced with our own insecurities
And worthless self doubts
Of the past

I like beginnings
When love is a possibility 
And just the thought of you 
Leading to something new 
Comforts my broken heart 
Helping the soreness to mend

I like endings
An end of a horrid chapter
With hardly any good memories 
To remember or reflect
Making that previous beginning come
To an end…

this is very interesting. and the way you arrived at the extreme opposite case at the end. To like the ending when the good has all disappeared.
