Pondering

"Relationships take two hearts desiring     togetherness to continue."

She was so special for me
and I'd like to believe
that I was special for her too,
but I only need to ponder
my current state of affairs
and realize that this is not true for her,
for if she thought I was so special
she would be with me,
surely she couldn't resist
someone as special as me,
as I couldn't resist
a woman as special as her.
I am the person that held her in high esteem
and now I know that I must let go of her
and savor the good times within my memory
while saying goodbe to a relationship that
I desired with all of my heart...

No wonder the great Shakespeare said that parting is such sweet sorrow! James, your poem is emblematic of such sweetness and sorrow, and I am lost for words to suggest a solution! Sometimes we must accept the inevitable, and bear the burden thereof; such is the calling to maturity of heart and mind.

Yo James,

Pondering is good for the soul.  It’s always good to think about things.  

Someday you will hit it lucky, and find someone that ponders with you, on mutual things.  

Just be patient.
