Wondering

tragedy

We held hands once,
looked at each other way too long.

We created feelings,
for this moment,
for eachother.

We were beautiful,
like the stars above us in that summernight.

But as the night faded,
my feelings didn't.

Sleepless nights followed.
Oh, sleepless nights.

And I wondered
how distance could hurt this much.
How missing someone
would bring my heart to cry.

But it wasn't
a tragedy.
It was just
Life.
