Dear Mom,

I have learned a lesson,

That falling in love is not a treason.

But when I look at him as if he hung the moon,

And he looks at me as if I'm a character from Looney Tune,

That's when I know, I am the felon.

Mom, I finally get it.

Your description of boys does fit.

Handsome face with a dashing smile to start,

A wink at me and I'm as keen as mustard.

After a wonderful night, pleasure is as thick as mist,

I fall hard for him and am left out of my wit.

How stupid of me to think I'm the only One,

That I wasn't just one night of fun,

To be disposed on the next sharp turn,

That came as the morrow's rising sun.

Now I have learned to love me so hard,

To appreciate my flaws as they are,

Because I have only had me from the start,

And he was just a boy from somewhere far.

I promised to never fall in a boy's trap again,

As I could barely withstand all the strain,

Between us, that was caused after months of affection,

That almost turned to some sort of obsession.

Oh mother, how I wish I could go back in time,

To right the wrongs of my prime.

I wish I had listened to you,

Instead of ignoring your warnings, too.

Though it was hard on me,

I don't regret trying to find love,

I just hope I find myself to be,

The very life of an expensive love.

Falling in love, infatuation, or lust is okay,

As long as you are with the person you may,

Live with for the rest of your life,

The person who will forever stay,

By your side in poor and rife.

Author's Note: This poem is very important to me as it portrays the feelings I held close to my heart after losing touch with my ex. We did not break up nor did we talk about it. One day, he just stopped picking up my calls and replying my text messages and that was that. I wasn't expecting anything when I entered the relationship. I fancied myself immune to love until we separated and the yearning for him hit me so deeply. I don't know if there's anyone out there who will relate to this, but I hope you know you're not alone all the same. We all experience heartbreak at some point in life, it's just a matter of time. And for my ex, I wish to never see you or your stupid friends ever again.
