Poetry On Odyssey: Two Broken People

Two people wanting to find love again.

We’re just two broken people trying to love again.

It’s hard at times.

When we’re happy, we smile like we’ve never been hurt. We laugh until we've cried real tears.

Trauma doesn't define you.

It only shapes you into the human being you are constantly evolving to become. Although our trauma wasn’t similar, we aren’t worlds apart. We can grow through the experiences we went through, together. I want to build you back up, to the man I know you can be. It’s a wonderful thing when someone is willing to help you love yourself instead of being all about them.

We’re just two broken people.

When we fight, all the personal issues we thought we’ve worked through starts to reveal itself. Our insecurities that were hidden, abruptly rise to the surface. Why does it always end up with someone getting their heart broken?

Maybe it’s because someone always manages to say the wrong thing that sparks more frustration. However, the yelling and shouting eventually immerse into your chest because you pull me into your chest. No matter how hard I squirm in your arms, you hold me tighter. Your rapid heartbeat comes at a normal pace as I shut my eyes. Because I know in that particular moment everything was going to be alright.

Sometimes I hate how well you know me. In some ways, you know me better than I know myself. You know what makes me laugh and you can tell when I'm upset by just the variation of tone when I speak. I can’t help to think that what if you wake up one morning, and you decide that you don’t want to do whatever "this" is anymore? All the conversations, secrets and fears that were exchanged will remain with you, along with a little part of myself.

When the trust is gone, everything else is pointless. It’s clear from the start, a relationship of any kind whether it be a friendship or romantically involved, the foundation was weak from the beginning. In the back of your mind, there will always be a doubt.

But in the end, we know that we’re all in.

Because when we love, we love hard.

We also share the understanding that we’re in this for the long run. Giving up or “Taking a break,” is off the table. If we’re upset, we give each other space but that doesn’t change a damn thing. You’re the missing puzzle piece I’ve been trying to find.

We are just two people, not letting our bad experiences define us.We are like two peas in a pod, We're always here for each other against all odds.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
