… learning

Learning how to forget,
You
Has been a hard lesson in finding,
Me.
For every day I resist the pull
Of your magical eyes,
And teasing voice,
All of those love drenched scenes
I painted so vividly in my dreams…
A little slice of who I am
Without the hope of you
Shines brighter.
She’s not who I expected,
This version of myself,
But maybe she’s all the best parts of me.
I try to apologize to her,
For letting us down,
In failing to capture your heart.
But she just shakes her head wisely,
And I know only what’s truly meant,
Will ever be.
