Situationship; A 21st Century Love Story

Forlorn Time

You were magic. Able to see yourself so clearly, a crystal figurine, so young and precious; a treasure—to be known by oneself with time on your side.

You had so much potential… how disappointing. Look at you now.

The tragedy of youth is serendipity.

Too young, too messy, too self-assured. Don’t trust your klutzy hands, you’ll run and fall; cut yourself on the shattered glass.

No, no, you’re too young. You will understand one day. Benevolent guidance of selfhood already housed in your psyche— do as you’re told, but not like that— stash yourself away for a better you.

An older you.

The older you that will figure it out one day; always at day one. Remember every mistake you made, every wasted opportunity, every milestone you tripped over.

To die inside before your time is a pain only secondary to that of reminiscing; now older and “wiser”

Look back, watch yourself abandon the glass figure that now lies smashed, crystal shrapnel embedded into the souls of your feet.

That is the tragedy of age; it is always relative.
