Worlds apart

Why do we love each other when we shouldn’t?
We truly believed in forever, but fate told us we couldn’t. 
I tell myself to look to the future and forget the past,
But whenever I fall asleep, his the person I think of last.
His not mine and I’m not his for a reason,
I repeat the words till I forget the year and season.
I’m trying to be strong but I need to know,
why I was given love only to watch it go?
I understand there’s a lesson behind the pain,
I just can’t pretend I don’t love him the same.
I Try my best to appreciate what I’ve been given,
Push out the negative thoughts and remain driven.
Yet the truth behind all the wisdom I know,
To be with him, I’d let everything else go.
