Beyond Love

I know I would never go back to you

But my thoughts cloud my reason

And I can’t help but think of what we used to have.

 

If I could go back,

I would have done things differently

But nothing could alter the inevitable

It was all destiny.

 

I’m reborn, new set of problems

Solutions I had are now theories I have

On how love is truly an illusion we create

To find a purpose in life when we are unhappy with ourselves.

 

Like rhyming in a poem,

It is unnecessary in its entirety

But it paints a beautiful picture

And leaves a lasting impression

On what you thought you knew.

 

Even with theory engraved,

For some reason, I long for that feeling I once felt,

But whenever I sense its arrival,

My mind takes over my heart

And repels temporary happiness.

 

Like same ends of a magnet,

We are forcefully held together

Through belief that with enough time spent

Embraced in each others arms,

An exterior force called love will step in

And defy the laws of physics.

 

We forget that a human’s natural state was

Based solely on survival

And love was created as our species

Evolved and became the superior being

Where newfound glory surfaced

As survival of the fittest became a thing of the past.

 

But love is a powerful force,

Whether real or imaginary,

It overwhelms and leaves even the greatest of minds

In confusion.

 

I’m lost without it, not without you,

But you introduced me to that world.

A world where everything you did made you happier,

Every mistake you committed was forgiven, by you.

 

I stay up late at times, wondering why I miss you.

Why I love my new life.

Why I miss love.

 

I’m sorry to the next, if you cant understand me,

There’s not much I can do or say.

I don’t believe in love

But I believe in companionship.

I believe in commitment, respect, and loyalty.

I believe in all the components necessary in

Making a relationship work,

All except love.

 

If love is what she wants, she will be disappointed.

My love I left with you, and I hope you can utilize it

To love the one you love now.

I don’t need it anymore, nor do I want it.

 

I have spiritual guidance to lead my path now.

Knowledge of life and wisdom ahead of me.

I know I won’t find true happiness,

But a smile emerges on my face, knowing

That at least I know I won’t find unhappiness.
