The last romance

Was unexpectedly short.

Was beautiful

And then was gone.

So much hope can end so quickly.

We all wish for so much in life.

Yet, there are few resources

To meet all our needs.

So, we are left with what?

Shortages–

Shortages of everything we expect:

Shortages of emotion, of hope,

of love, of happiness.

So then, what next?

I guess that we just have Life.

So then:

Just steady up and carry on.

Because there are no other choices.
