You Can Always Find Yourself Again

The clock hits 3am She sits quietly in the still of her own room With her headphones in quietly she listens In the dead of the night she sings along Until that one song begins to play…yea you know the one That song that hits so close to home She finds herself looking thru old albums The ones that show when she was his everything When she meant so much more to him than just another friend Just another girl he used to know One he once loved more than life itself Now from time to time he’ll call to check in And every now and then in a moment of weakness She’ll say something to remind him of the way things used to be They go back and forth sharing favorite memories And laugh about all the good times they once shared But does he know that for her it doesn’t stop there Those days may be long gone for him, just a great memory… But those are the memories she’s still holding onto Still she keeps them very close and very dear to her heart And though she will always love him She has had to learn to live without him Slowly she tries to move on with her life But every time she finds herself getting close to someone new His every memory comes rushing back And she knows that no one will ever compare They’ve both dated other people, both said their own “I love you” All the while the best of friends they remain They both agree they’ll never find another love like theirs There’s nothing in this whole world she wouldn’t give to have that back again Never truly understanding why he continues to hold back She knows she can’t spend forever waiting On someone who may never really and truly be sure of what he wants Forever her favorite memory he will be But she’s held on for so long She now knows it's time to move on and let him go Because she can’t do it all on her own In her heart he’ll always be her best friend But together again is something they may never be And she’s learned to be okay with that Because if there’s one thing life has ever taught her It's that people will come and go You will teach and you will learn But never try to force someone to stay Because in time as one leaves Someone else will come in And maybe one day they will look back and realize They walked out on that one person that would’ve never done the same And when they do by then it will be too late By then someone will have come along and see everything they never could So when you think you’ve lost it all Get back up and try again Don’t give up on love…. Cuz it won't ever give up on you!!!!!!!!

It's hard to grab onto something new when we are holding onto the past. You have painted the story of many lost loves.

For so long it was something I struggled with....but I found my way out of the prison my own heart kept me in for so Long

your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!

My Poetry is all very heartfelt and very much my own feelings from my own experiences over the years. I Have so much more to share but due to the ability to only post 10 a day I have reached my max. But again thank you and I hope you enjoy the ones to come as much as this one!

Wow Thank You So Much For Your Very Sweet and Kind Words I am so very glad you enjoyed it! Unlike a lot of writers I do not possess the ability to just pick a topic and write a poem about it.
