I felt like I waited my whole life for you.
So why does it feel like I’ve wasted my time?
Maybe it was just a dream, and I wanted you to fill it. Maybe it was a fantasy, and you fit the description. Or maybe you were supposed to be the one, but somewhere along the way, you were the one that changed.

Wow, Sarah, you packed a wallop in so few words. It was quite evocative and written from a point of maturity, as though you were distant enough from it you could review it without bitterness.

How thought provoking. Sounds like a love gone bad. Sorry love didn’t work for her because he changed. Or did he find another to love? Who knows?

So sad. Some people can self-reflect and change for the good. Others are too self-centred or stubborn to notice or care.

It seems we are always surrounded by maybes. Maybe I should… Maybe I should have… Maybe I need to… And you’re right, maybe isn’t enough. Hugs to you my friend. 🙂

Hi Sarah,
Very lovely poem!
I found my way here through our mutual friend’s blog “The Feathered Sleep”
As you probably know she is not doing so well. I’m attempting to help our dear friend Candice during her time of need. When you get the chance please follow this link https://www.facebook.com/donate/1885961145056058/1886080781710761/
and help her out if able. Candice would never ask anything for herself, as everyone that knows her knows she is a very giving, caring person. That is why I’m doing this on her behalf. Thank you.

I noticed that she wasn’t posting her lovely poetry as much recently, but I didn’t know the full extent of her troubles. Thank you for sharing this with me. I’ll do what I can.

Thank you Sarah for your reply and your kindness. Candice would never ask for help for herself, especially for money, which is why I want to do this on her behalf, she has such a big heart and always tries to help others. Thank you again. ღ
