I guess it ended... and it has to be alright. Another poem inspired by the my ex :"<
Most people refuse to believe
That I loved you.
They think of it as temporary insanity
That may be.
But more than anything
I was in love. Madly.
You were more than a man
You were a hero.
An Angel.
Something to be cherished.
Something I had never had.
A man.
A man who loved me
And made me feel, for the first time,
Like a Woman.
You made me believe
I was not broken.
You made me see,
I was more than the sum of my life.
And, I fought you, when you left.
I fought my family,
And it took me a long year to realize,
Without you, I will be alright.
I never stopped loving you.
And, yes, I'm still angry with you.
It doesn't mean I wouldn't hold you
Or cover every inch of you with kisses
Had I but the single chance.
Don't call me silly
And don't wipe this off
As a poem meaning to shoot in the dark
And hit some mark
To make you love me again.
I don't care.
Love me, or don't.
Doesn't matter to me, now.
Because, I still love you.
I will continue to do so
Freely,
Because you taught me about me.
And that's alright, I guess.
But the things I've learned
Since your departure
Showed me, that I can love you
With out being weak
Because, love,
Real Love,
Never dies or fades completely.
Now that I've accepted that
It's simply alright, I guess.
