FORGETTING MY ACADEMIC EX

You will always remember the feeling of falling in love

Whether it’s with your grade school crush or your chocolate best friend

You will never forget how euphoric it was to finally realize that you have within your grasp the ultimate dream

Then shit happens and it disappoints you big time

For a moment you made my life miserable

But because I’m a relentless romantic

I stood my ground and thought I could win you over

But you run my patience and faith to the ground

When a moment became moments, you tested my determination

Like December’s chill fighting off the summer’s wind

I hold on to the dream that you so invitingly parade before my face

Until it felt like I have wasted tons of tears and truck loads of emotion just overcoming you

Every now and then you still haunt me

Until I realize that you are something that I can never escape but guiltily try every chance I get

Your elusiveness is like a drug I want to try

Baiting me to risk everything and forget the practicalities of life

I can and will never forget the hardships we’ve through

From the first powerful frustrating feeling up to the 4^th numbing sarcastic laugh

Despite the mental and emotional torture you so willingly parade before me

You are still something that I still desire to overcome.

As we again come face to face soon my academic ex

Let me say that there will come a time that you’ll only be a laughing memory

When that time comes, I will embrace you willingly

Finally we’ll be equals and you’ll stop being a dream and turn into reality

BAR I WILL WIN OVER YOU!
