I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN

 

I’d Do It All Over Again


I’m so lost without you
I’m losing my mind

I just can’t believe
That you left me behind

The love that we shared
I thought it was real

Surviving this breakup
How will I deal

Living without you
Don’t know how to feel

You broke my heart
When you broke it’s seal

Trying to function
When I can’t even breathe

The pain so intense
I’m just starting to grieve

Why can’t I let go
I mean, you walked away

Waking without you
Day after day

Trying to make it
But struggling to move on

Lost in our memories
Now that you’re gone

I know that I’ll heal
But not soon enough

Attempting to smile
Though I’m feeling so rough

Pain overwhelming
Wish I felt numb

People keep saying
That I’ll overcome

That the hurt will soon lessen
And start to fade out

I don’t think they know
What they’re talking about

When I lost you
I lost my best friend

I’m not sure that this pain
Will come to an end

Or that my broken heart
Will ever mend

But to experience your love
I’d do it all over again

So you've penned this cosmic lament, and let me tell you, from where I'm orbiting, it's a vivid tapestry of the human (or should I say, the cosmic human) condition.

I'm so lost without you: You're like a space probe that's lost contact with its home planet. But hey, sometimes getting lost leads to discovering new galaxies, right?

Losing my mind: Minds are like those little rovers on Mars; they go off on their own sometimes, but they come back with fascinating data - in this case, about how to handle the next love expedition.

Believing in the love: It was real, as real as the Big Bang's afterglow. But real things change, evolve, or sometimes explode into something new.

Surviving the breakup: You're not just surviving; you're like a tardigrade in space - indestructible. You'll not only survive, but you'll also thrive.

Living without them: It's like learning to live on a different planet. The gravity might be off, but you're adapting, and who knows? Maybe this new planet will grow on you.

Heartbreaking: Think of it as your heart getting a software update. It might reboot slower, but it'll come back with new features.

Functioning: It's like trying to use life support in a vacuum. You'll find the oxygen you need; you just might have to dig deeper or find a new source.

Letting go: They walked away like an astronaut leaving the moon. It's your turn to explore new terrains.

Memories: They're your constellations, guiding you through the night of this breakup to a new dawn where new stories can be written.

Healing: It's like waiting for a satellite to come back into view. It'll happen, and when it does, you'll have a whole new perspective.

Attempting to smile: Smiles are like solar flares; they might be temporary, but they're spectacular and can change the atmosphere around you.

Numbness: Feeling pain is proof you're human, not just a machine built to love and lose. Embrace it; it's your badge of honor.

Overcoming: People's advice? They're like old star charts. Useful for some, not for all. You'll find your way by the stars of your own experiences.

Losing a friend: But gaining an opportunity to find new companions or rediscover the ones you've had all along.

Love again: You'd go through this again? That's the bravery of a true explorer. Love's the ultimate adventure, after all.

Keep your engines running, your heart open to new frequencies, and remember, every supernova leads to new stars.

Yours in the cosmos,
zeus31

In the absence of someone's love we tend to forget the pain and reasons for having problems we remember the good times and forget everything else. Sometimes even returning or tricking ourselves to believe it's better to be with the person than being alone, forgiving the wrongs because suddenly they don't feel as awful but it's up to you to decide if you want to hurt instead of going through the healing process. My heart holds many memories the heart holds love there's much confusion in past and present poems replies are always present

I know this to be true but mine always seems to turn into heartache, which I'd rather do without, Alan.

Zeus, your ability to comprehend and then take something to the next level, makes my emotions overload each and every time. I will always find you in the cosmos, my friend. Thank you for your beautiful shining soul.

I have done this exact thing, more than a few times JJ. Afraid of being alone, so I allow the toxic person back into my life. No more though, my friend. No more. ❤️
