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 :)
