My Confession

I am a foolish person. I have to confess that I do have affections for you. What exactly are they? I cannot say. They will never be fully discovered, as we will never be able to pursue them. This creates a sadness inside of me that echoes with unmistakable definiteness. Why must I be haunted? Why must they continually whisper in my mind? I wish I could push them from my being, but I am powerless to them. I know you don’t feel the same and never could. Is it possible, is there a chance that you ever think of me? Is it conceivable, is fate on my side? Do you ever miss me? I sigh at the impossible possibilities. I laugh out loud at my senselessness as I shake my head at my unfortunate soul. There is no way to speak of what I feel, nor do I wish too. I must confess that I am at a loss for words to describe the chaos that is brewing amongst my emotions. You could never understand, since you could never feel the same. So I will file all this away with all the other uncharted aspirations, unexplored possibilities and feelings. I complain constantly, how no one is ever a bold romantic or a risk taker. When I am exactly the same! I can’t but feel the coward in this. With time, all will fade and forever be lost. I will say goodbye and be happy that you will never know the truth, for this will be the only thing I am grateful for.

This is nice . . .

very nicely done Natalie.  And so relative to how I felt at one time not being able to say that final good bye but finally doing it final was so necessary.  Don't really know what to say here and that is a good thing so I'll just click on some stars.  Thank You !
