Unrequited Soul

Dear Delyara, I loved you with a force that could have moved mountains, but you were content to stay in the valley. I tried to be enough for both of us, to carry the weight of two hearts on one pair of shoulders. It took me three years to realize that you weren't "incapable" of loving me—you just weren't the one who was supposed to. Tonight, I am reclaiming my love. I am taking all that energy I gave to you and I am pointing it back at myself. I wrote a final goodbye to the "us" that lived only in my head. I am leaving my hope for you here. I am taking my hope for me and I am going home.
