Unexpected

by Bren Ren

I never expected this to happen.

I thought my heart was taken.

I thought I had found my soul mate.

Now I am left wondering…

Did I mistake kindred spirit for soul mate?

How else do I explain this?

It's not what I intended.

It isn't what I had planned.

How in the world did I get from there to here?

And is there any way back?

Would I go back if I could?

Eyes black with pain, sorrow, loss…

Darker than a midnight tempest over open sea…

Anguish, despair, hope lost…

I would take it back in a heartbeat, if I could.

Yes, I would go back.

If there were a way.

There isn't.

It's too late.

We passed the point of no return…

Scarcely a word spoken…

No struggle. No fight. No holding on.

Just…

Just letting go…

And falling…

Falling…

Falling…

Landing…

In the arms of another.
