For you

Poem 40: Be Alright

I pulled away and it was as though instantly, you knew.

You knew that she was gone, it was true.

I couldn't meet your gaze as I uttered the words.

The words that still pierce my ears like swords.

"It's going to hurt for a bit of time."

That's the last time you ever finished my rhyme.

When I remember her, I think of our last talk.

The words stuck in my throat much like that nasty chalk.

You said sometimes love just isn't enough.

But it was enough for me, after all why shouldn't it be?

I had you, me, and us.

I needed nothing more to give you my trust.

But I gave you more than that, I gave you my time.

I gave you my hope and told you my rhyme.

I painted my dreams, then you made them look black.

You told me no matter what, we couldn't go back.

You told me you'd changed and there's nothing I could do.

But before I forget I wanted to say, Happy Birthday!

No that's not sarcastic and I really do mean it.

Despite the times you talked to me like I was shit.

But I still love you, and I needed to say that.

Today I'm reminded of quiet conversations, kisses and hats.

Today I remember me and you.

But I can't help but wonder....

On February 2nd, do you still think of me too?

And if you're reading this please tell me it's true.

Please tell me for the rest of my life that there can always be me and you.

Because if you don't I don't know if I'll be alright.

Without you it's so very hard to see the light.

"So bottoms up let's forget tonight.

You'll find another and you'll be just fine."

But I haven't found another and I don't know that I will be alright.

But that's the sacrifice, and that's my life.

It's getting late, so I should go.

I just wanted you to know,

Today I will always remember you and what we had.
