Poetry

Maybe I thought

Maybe I thought it would take forever,

To finally forget your face.

Or the way your smile

Slowly made it's way across your lips.

Maybe I stayed up late lots of nights,

And thought of the things

That happened.

But everything that happened,

Really wasn't much of anything at all.

And maybe.....

Maybe I liked you too fast.

I know that's the truth.

And maybe you didn't....

Think of me at all.

I thought that maybe it would bother me,

For much longer than it did.

And I thought that

It would take my feelings so long

So long to finally vanish.

But maybe I was wrong,

Because it's easier every day.

Maybe I was wrong,

About a lot of things.

For instance:

I was wrong to think that the longer I waited,

The more you would see me,

For who I really am.

I was wrong for thinking,

That I would see a nice guy in you,

Who didn't really exist.

I was wrong to think for so long,

That you would change your mind.

And I was definitely so wrong to think,

That I would never get over you.

Because while I held onto every moment,

Looking through the stained glass,

For someone who wasn't there....

I was making things harder on myself.

Maybe I thought things

Would turn out differently.

And they turned out differently

Then what I thought they would.

Maybe I definitely see now,

That I will never find

Who I thought existed in you.

But....

Maybe i'm okay with that.

Because maybe I've opened my eyes wide,

And taken a look around.

And realized for once,

That you would not give me,

What I needed inside.

And that's okay with me,

Because maybe just maybe...

Someone else will soon.
