I’m caught between my head and heart,
Torn by delusions pulling me apart.
My heart still aches, refusing to let go,
Although I should, for reasons I already know.
To walk away feels like the hardest choice,
When the feelings still linger, just without a voice.
But clinging to dreams that won’t come true,
Will only keep the future away from you, something new, something deep and true.
I wish to stay, to fight, to mend,
But unrequited love has no amend.
The signs are clear, the path is drawn,
Yet my heart still asks, “What if I’m wrong?”
Letting go doesn’t erase the past,
Nor dim the light of the love that I cast.
It simply means I’m making space,
For someone to meet me face to face.
If goodbye feels sudden, then take your time,
Step back, breathe, let yourself climb.
Find joy in passions, in friendships bright,
And soon, love will choose you in the right light.
I am not weak for feeling this way,
Nor wrong for hoping that they may stay.
But love should be given, not begged for or chased,
And the hardest choice is one I must face.
