Hypothetical thinking vs wishful thinking

Hypothetical thinking sounds like a vast array of possibilities for thought.

On the other hand, wishful thinking is what it is, just envision things the way they could have happened (the way you'd like they happened).  And this can only lead to sorrow, anguish, depression, anxiety...

Face reality.
- Look/move forward
- As you move forward, don't deny your own emotions, mixed feelings

Carrying an ex on your mind
Carrying an ex on your heart
a heavy burden it is
like
     a
        knife
               piercing
                           through
                                       my chest
like a direct blow
                           to the liver

you stumble
                   move sideways
                   and then a sudden jab
                                     to your face
and you collapse
like a rag doll
                      and you try to get up
                             only to make it worse
stay down!
                 you hear that voice shouting
but you stand up
                  and a direct cross to the stomach
                                                   drives you down
and you stay down
                     crying
                     feeling like you've lost everything
                                          feeling like you've been cut off
and then, slowly
               lick your wounds,
                               vulnerable as hell
                                                 lick your wounds
                                as soon as you can
there's a long way to go
                       before you even begin to grow
                       before you even begin to learn
you hope you'll find strength
remembering the good things
but sometimes
                       they hurt you even more
but sometimes
                        they hurt you as much
                                                   as the sudden breakup
they hurt as much
                            as the feeling of not knowing what hit you
                                 the feeling of not knowing where exactly
                                                             the sudden breakup hit you
and every time you recall
in anguish and shame
your sudden pathetic fall
                     your mantra echoes
                     your
                             inner
                                     voice
                             keeps
                                      ringing in your ears
                                      not again
                                      not again
                                      not again.
