Love’s Metamorphosis

From We to Me, with Gratitude

Sometimes, life unfolds in the least expected ways.

We fought for what we had but forcing it wouldn’t be right. It became clear, like branches reaching for the sun, that our paths would need to grow in different directions.

While there might not be a perfect way, knowing it’s the best for each other brings a strange comfort.

We’ll still be there, a source of support, not of hurt anymore.

my love
it’s been a beautiful journey
hand in hand we’ve trod
walking this blessed road

shared laughter and tears
sunshine’s warmth and pouring rain
we dreamt as one
reaching for the stars

but love
like nature’s course
unfolds in ways unseen

this is it, then
this is where our paths diverge
where we say goodbye

the love that we had
it metamorphosed
stifling it would only break us
