Back and forth

Up and down

Never getting it right

False starts

Empty promises

Ending before I began

To trust

To think

To love

I always thought it would be easy

One day it would all fall

Into place

Instead of apart

Always ending

Never knowing which way is up

Not knowing what to do

Because how can you love alone

How can you be so ready but

Never right

So many

I thought

But I was so wrong

Never getting the right one

How hard can it be

Why is it hard for me

And not for you

Or him

Or her

Why do I feel so behind

My path is different

But I feel like I should be arriving already
