Poem About Letting Go Of Him

A long time ago, I fell in love with an amazing man. He was everything to me, and I planned on spending the rest of our days growing old together. Mistakes were made, and things were done that can never be repaired. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him...he is my addiction.

My Addiction

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2012 with permission of the Author.

This addiction, my worst enemy
Has gone from days, months, to years
It's taken over my life, haunted me
It's become my biggest fear.

The consumption is overwhelming
Without it what would I be?
But with it, it leaves me emptiness
and many left years of misery.

Many times I've tried knowing,
That I have to let it go
But I continue to torture myself
and spend my life alone.

Why is it that we hang onto
The one who doesn't care.
I have to try and change it;
I have my own life to spare.

So with this voice inside me
And all the strength I have left within,
I'll push myself to move forward
My new life is waiting, ready to begin.

I was really good friends with this guy. He made me smile and I made him smile. After months of being friends he starts making gestures. He would ask me to hang out or hold my hand, and he would always try to be by me. One day he gets mad at me because I brought up his ex in a conversation. He refused to talk to me for 3 MONTHS. Then one day he texts me saying he wants to be friends again. So after about a month of being friends again, junior year starts. We last as friends for about 3 days before he breaks my heart. School started in August and it's now October. In those months we've gotten in FOUR fights. Finally after 3 weeks he talks to me. Then he texts me. I open up his message and it says, "I MISS YOU," and I'm like "Whoaa." Yes, I admit I have some strong feelings for him. I can't seem to let go of Oscar. Maybe 20 minutes ago I told Oscar about this guy I might get into a relationship with. He goes, "Ohh, same girl." :(

I started dating this beautiful girl at the end of the year at school but the following year I was leaving to another province and she was the only girl I had. We were so happy together but when I had to leave in December happiness was over I cried for her and my heart was broken.
