Maybe There’s No Happily Ever After

Maybe There’s No Happily Ever After

Maybe there’s no happily ever after,
Brad and Angie ended.
Jack died, Rose lived.

Maybe there’s no together forever
no till death do us part.
no fairytale ending.

Maybe its okay to have
several beginnings
and different endings.

Maybe we are only meant
to hold on to our happy
for as long as we can.

  1. Such a sad truth. It’s written so beautifully that it doesn’t sound so bad.

  2. There’s no together forever.
    No immorality.

    Cause in the end everything fades and dies.

    Maybe we just need to learn to let go in the end. Cause everything that was meant to happen will happen and nothing can be done to change it.

    This is beautiful.

  3. 😍 We never know. 😀 But, this is beautiful. The thought, and the words❤️
