Is it foolish of me?

ruminations of a heart broken 20 something

Is it foolish of me to think that I won’t feel as safe or as loved with someone else?

Or that one day I won’t come to learn all of their unique mannerisms as they come to learn mine?

Is it foolish of me to think that no one else will feel like home again?

Or that I’m not capable of building a home with a better foundation with someone else?

Is it foolish of me to think that this is where it all ends?

My love life, over, at the prime age of 22?

Is it foolish of me to fear the unknown?

Forgetting that everyone that I now love was once a stranger to me too?

Is it foolish of me to be wary of hope?

Knowing far too well that without it, I’ll be truly lost?

Is it foolish of me to believe that I'll always feel the full weight of this pain?

Remembering that I’ve been at this point before and that time has always healed my wounds?
