The Arts of the Silvery Red & Other Poems

Hard Acceptance

You have chosen,
& I accepted.
I knew this was coming,
From the moment we were friends again.
My instincts had told me.
Like you,
Following the voice in your head,
I follow my instincts,
& it has yet to prove me wrong.
I won't promise not to shed a tear.
The way my mind thinks,
There's no holding back.
I wish I can silence my mind,
From the thoughts that's causing me heartache.
However, there's no stopping it.
Nothing can prevent my thought proses.
So don't blame yourself for the way I feel.
Its not your fault.
The way my mind thinks,
Just cause me to break.
As much as it hurts me,
To see or think,
That you will be with another girl,
As long as you're happy,
Then I will too.
My happiness will eventually come I guess.
However, if it never does,
Then I just got to accept,
That it was never meant to happen.
As hard as it is to accept,
That your going to be with someone other than me,
Hurts me deeply.
However, you can't be happy with me.
Not the way I'm living.
I want you to be happy.
So if someone other than me can bring you joy,
Then I'll let u go,
In order for you to be happy.
This is hard to accept,
However, your happiness comes first.
So I wish you luck.
