I Could Never Destroy

Yes I walked away,

not with hatred,

not with anger,

but with an open heart, by realising.

That I should not be the reason,

to destroy another person's fate.

Sometimes it felt like destiny,

it felt like love.

I questioned if the universe made a mistake,

by putting her in another person's arms.

But when I realised

after stripping away my illusion,

and the energy I was holding,

she had her life that didn't include me,

but I still wanted her,

which could have destroyed her dreams.

What could I build by destroying her life,

her dreams, her wishes...

Only a cemetery to live

with the dead emotions of her.

I could never create a future

by making her life fall apart.

I would have built

only destruction and not love.

My vision was blurred,

my attachment disguised as devotion.

I could never rewrite

what is written in fate.

Her soul had her journey,

she had her own lessons to learn.

She had her own path,

that I could never cross over

with what I want from her.

I could never build my reality by

destroying her reality.

So, I decided to let her go,

I could never be part of her journey.

I would never destroy her family,

her choices, her dreams, her wants.

The love I feel for her is true,

even if she could never accept it,

nor could she return it.

I would never want the universe

to rearrange her life for my comfort.
