I knew all the red flags,
but I ignored them
and saw only green lights.
My heart took control
over from my mind,
and I was blind to the signs.
I wanted to believe
that love would conquer
all our differences,
but it only magnified them.
And here we are,
a victim of dashed dreams,
shattered hopes,
unfulfilled love.
You have captured our greatest paradox
"I wanted to believe
that love would conquer
all our differences,
but it only magnified them."
Perhaps all due to the fact that the more we love another, the finer the details about them we notice. Details brought out will maximize not just similarities but also differences.
