Someone familiar

I felt a love like yours once.
Hot, raw, volatile.
And he was like you in a lot of ways.
I found comfort in that.

That's all you were,
someone familiar.

But perhaps God wrote a different story for me.
And the chapter where the young, naive, and foolish girl
falls in love with the insecure boy with messy hair
was written so perfectly that
these two poor hearts
will never feel such love again.

And to fall in love with someone familiar
would only leave me chasing
for something that was long left behind.
