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
