Those Who Wait

A poem. Written 01/2024. I wrote this not knowing what was to come. Enjoy!

Oh how I’ve waited.

Oh how I’ve waited.

To fall out of love with you.

No more happy belated’s.

No more longing for you.

It’s been so long.

The weight on my chest has been lifted.

And now that you’re gone …

My breath can actually reach the very pit of my stomach.

My vision is twenty twenty.

And music finally sounds different .

And you’ve given me plenty.

Did I forget to mention?

To not hear your love in every song is peaceful.

The space in my brain is vast.

Gone are the thoughts of you.

No longer do I wear this mask.

I no longer tingle at the mention of your name.

Finally, the movie in my head has ended.

Texts are no longer green.

For quite some time your love is all I’ve hidden.

I must admit.

It feels like I’m doing something criminal.

See I’ve loved you for so long.

Your love so minimal.

And now that you’re gone.

I no longer want a piece of you.

Im not bitter.

Nor am I angry.

There are no jitters.

And I know you don’t crave me.

We’re on equal terms.

Lessons have been learned.

And I thank you for your service.

I can see you’re not the end all be all.

That love will come again.

I’ve had to pray to our God.

And he’s answered my friend.

I’ll sip chateau monet in celebration.

I drink to you & your happiness!

No hard feelings.

No more sadness.
