Is It Really So Beautiful?

I never wanted to fall in love with you...but I guess it always happens that way.Love always comes along when you don't want it in the first place.If I could go back to when things were the best between us I wouldn't take it for granted like I did. I still find myself looking for you when I go walking. Thinking that you'll be waiting for me like you always did. Thinking that if I walk a little faster I'll get to you sooner and apologize. Just getting to you sooner can all the mistakes I've made but I never reach you.
Today I found myself listening to the same song over and over again. Before today the song didn't make sense. Its like the lyrics were hiding and all I had to do was listen as hard as I could until I heard them. I don't know who wrote the song but they've been here before.
I went outside and let the sun shine on my skin. I cried for awhile. I don't know if I cried because I hurt you, or if I cried because I don't know who I am without you. You've been my secret for the longest. That was all I had to do was to keep you a secret. Maybe it reflects upon my character poorly that I was wiling to live a lie for so long. it didn't matter though 'cause I was with you. As the sun beamed down on me I realized I was cold. Colder than I've ever been.
At certain points throughout the day I became enraged. I wondered to myself how I hurt you. When clearly you hurt me. How could you ask so much of me? I would have done anything for you. Thing is I never told you that nor will I ever.Maybe its your fault you made me feel alive. Like the needle pushing heroin into my veins. Maybe what I'm feeling today is withdrawal.
Then I found myself writing you a letter. It said everything I know I should've said, but I ripped it up. It felt good. I shouldn't have to justify myself. I messed up but so what life goes on. I wish it was as easy as that last sentence but it isn't. Maybe I should've tried harder to be faithful. Maybe I should've told you that something wasn't right. And I know I gave up trying to make things work along time ago. It seemed better to let things be as they were. Relationships need repairs every now and then but I was too caught up to make changes.
Now the day has ended and I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes I think about the last time I saw you, and if I’ll see you again. Wondering what I'll say. If I should say hello or not say anything at all. Thinking that when I see you I should greet you with a kiss for actions speak louder than words. Maybe then you'd know that I'll never forget you. You'll always have a place in heart and I never meant to hurt you. And then maybe I could tell you that we could never be together again. Even though its what my heart desires.
If I have to love you in secret why love you at all? And if I can't give you all of me then what’s the point? Love is full of maybes and what if's...and what if I had never met you?
Then I probably wouldn't know such a beautiful pain like this one...

I still wonder if it's worth it...

"If I could go back to when things were the best between us I wouldn't take it for granted like I did."

This is such an honest and utterly sad entry. It makes me want to cry. The above sentence encompasses the entire concept of regret, and all that is bitter about the loss of a great love.

I'm off to cry a whole leopard from my eye now...
