I Never Really

 

 

I Never Really

 

 

I thought of him and his mysterious ways

Never really figuring him out

 

I looked to him and he looked away

Never really saying our whys of the subject

 

I hoped for him and he pushed me away

Never really caring if I hurt

 

I yearned for him and he settled for another

Never really loved by her

 

I knew just hearing his voice alone would be enough

Never really sure if I was being true to myself

 

I decided to be happy for him

Never really learning how to start

  

I didn’t cry the day he left

Never really sure why

 

 

I suppose I knew that day wouldn’t be the last

Never really leaving my mind

I love how in the simplicity of your poem, you were able to encompass so many emotions felt those who choose to leave before they are left, never really knowing what they are losing before it is completely gone.

My favorite line is probably "Never really sure why", because I fell like it just sums up how we do foolish things like pushing away those we love, because they don't love us, without really having a reason.

A very nice piece.
