Was There a Chance?

She told me it was nothing,
That I had done or said.
Which left but one conclusion,
Twas who I am instead.

Though I will always love her,
She's not in love with me.
Sure seemed it was, but sadly,
It wasn't meant to be.

If I had fought and argued,
What diff'rence would it make?
Was there a chance to change things?
Or was it much too late?

It's hard to know what action,
To take or what to say,
When someone tells you gently,
It's time to go away.

there is always a chance when you set out on an adventure.. that's why you go on them. sadly they don't always end the way we want them to.

It is just the universe giving you practice, so that you are more able to handle the 'real soul mate/spiritual twin' etc. as this is unconditional ; 'Real' love asks nothing.
The fact you handle it without anger/bitterness and with such niceness indicates you don't need much more practice, I should think.

Hi, freeatlast64847,
All of our past can be found in what we are as we move into our becoming. To have experienced love for someone along the way is a gift to treasure. Thank you for sharing.

F.A.L. a finely forlorn poem and yes, I agree, there is always a chance, otherwise, we wouldn't even be here right?

Thanks gnj! Yes, I have no regrets. That giddy feeling of being in love, even for a while, is worth the pain of losing it. I will never give up until I have that in my life with someone forever.

Yes goodguy, we all seek the ever-elusive feeling of being with our one.

Thank you all! wine
