Kryptonite

Seeing your lost love

I saw you today…the first time since we split.
The instantaneous flooding of emotions was paralyzing.
I knew I would see you someday.
I envisioned I would be able to maintain my composure and poise. I convinced myself I am strong enough to see you, talk with you and even give you a hug without falling apart.
Reality dealt a hard blow to my ego.
I am not strong when you are around.
You are my weakness…my kryptonite…my addiction!

Detachment is an art that most aren’t able to obtain for a long time. It takes time to let emotions cool down enough to seem calm or even be calm. I’m a master of detaching in the moment but later on my anxiety and emotions will wreak havoc on my heart.

This is an emotion filled piece that those who have known love can relate to and feel with empathy.

Normally I can shut off my emotions (my career has made this one of my strengths)...but not when it comes to him...I turn into a gooey mute. lol

An alluring read here....:)

The idea of kryptonite.......the downfall of many "supermen/women" over the years!

I especially like the last line....my addiction

in tokyo, there are so many people that it is basicall impossible to run into someone you know. but as destiny would have it, i saw in the sea of faces Her... the one that got away. she didnt see me, or pretended not to, but i saw her. I stopped where i was and had to lean on a ledge. my heart heart, a barely mended things, broke into a thousand pieces again.
so, yes, kryptonite. i have mine and it will always be what breaks me.
loved this poem. even though it brings up some memories people tell me to forget, i dont want to forget it.

Thank you. I guess everyone has someone who is their Kryptonite. I appreciate you sharing.

What a moving poem filled with memories and emotions.
I remember when I use to feel this way, but I learnt the art of detachment, took me years, now nothing haunts me about my first love. Thank God for this. I will always cherish the memories though.

May u not feel so much in the future and it be easier to deal with. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing, was well written, and authentic.
