Abstract

The text is a poignant reflection on the author's life, acknowledging numerous mistakes and the inability to keep track of them all. Despite the regrets, the author emphasizes the resilience of having lived through it all. The relationship with both parents was tumultuous, yet the past, including these complex relationships, is an inseparable part of the author's identity. The death of the mother is a significant event that underscores the irreversibility of time and the finality of their shared journey. Memories are all that remain, but the author admits that love, even when imperfect, has endured. The text grapples with the concept of mismatched love, asserting that love retains its value regardless of its imperfections. The author seeks to understand and rectify past errors but acknowledges the futility of such efforts, recognizing that the past is immutable and that the present is what truly matters

Mismatched Love

Where I go, my past goes with me

“Courtesy of the Author”

In this life many mistakes I made

So many that even the account I lost

Hits, very few

But I lived.

I messed with my mom, I messed with my dad.

Where I go, my past goes with me

But it never opens its door

And my mother is already dead.

We walked side by side

Each of us with our own step

Now it’s too late

Memories remain

Nothing more. Just it.

I lie, as my mother used to say

Love also remained

Mismatched love

Love is love!

Even mismatched love

I just want to get it right

Useless

Today is present

Our history is already past.

Love
Mismatch
