A poem by Nile Flores
It was fun,
but sometimes reality needs to happen.
Even when I hurt my own heart,
I know it’s better off, than hurting it even more.
Sure,
it will take some time to recover.
Sure,
it will leave me with fond memories.
Sure,
it will be hard to stop caring as much.
It was fun,
but I needed something more.
Even though I had hoped for more,
dancing on thin ice only leads to trouble.
Sure,
it will be less cuddling.
Sure,
it will be less time having great conversations.
Sure,
it will be hard to stop caring as much.
I thank you for the good times.
I thank you for being a great guy.
Wish it could’ve lasted longer or had been something more solid,
but you gotta wake up sometime.
It was fun,
but I gotta protect my heart.
And to do that,
sometimes I just gotta set the boundaries.
