I still wonder

about the paths

I didn’t take.

The hills

I didn’t climb.

The sunsets

I didn’t see.

I know we both want to write this like some kind of poetry,

but the truth is that I’m not a moth and you’re not a flame;

The truth is that we’re both just two goddamn forest fires burning towards each other.

The truth is that there is no ending that leaves anything but ash.

But the truth is, there were some things that I never grew from. Some things that only brought pain, and no grand lesson...except for maybe the knowledge that I was strong enough to survive them.
