The Fallout

The Fallout


For a brief moment, everything I needed was right in front of me
She was the embodiment of perfection
A stunning personality, a heart of gold, and absolutely gorgeous 
I didn't expect to fall so hard so fast
I could feel myself glowing from within
A smile radiating from my face by the mere thought of her
They say when you find the one, you just know
And I knew it, there wasn't a doubt in my mind
And as quickly as it started, it all came crashing down
In an instant those feelings turned to disbelief
How could the bottom fallout on something so great?
Turns out there's more to her than I ever could've imagined
She wasn't ready and didn't want to get involved in something she couldn't give her all
Inside she was rebuilding herself, putting the pieces back together 
Repairing the damage done by a savage monster
Maybe someday we can pick up where we left off
Until then, all I can do is try to be her friend and help piece together a fragile heart

So sad Lou. Yet, so kind of you to consider being her friend to support her and help bring her peace with her fragile heart. Well done putting into words - peace to you too :)
