Poem
One day it’s going to happen, just you wait and see, there will be a day that you will run into me unexpectantly And when I am standing there in front of you with that awkward look upon your face, it’s all going to hit you then, he took your place You’re going to look down between us and you will see his hand in mine, and I hope that the pain sears your heart, the way you have done to me a thousand times I hope that you notice the sparkle from the diamond on my hand, that he put there long ago after you walked away, no longer wanting to be my man I hope that it makes you hurt, although you wouldn’t let it show, to know that I found someone who truly loves me and found a way to let me know I hope it takes you back to a hot summer, to a night shared in a room long ago, when you sat there in front of me proposing to me, and in your heart knowing it would never be so I hope it feels you with regret, I hope that you’re all choked up and you can’t speak, I pray that the vision is all too much for you and your knees I pray they will be weak I hope that it takes you back to that night when you gazed into my eyes, and saw all that you ever wanted back then burning in mine And I hope the reality of it all hits you so hard in the face, realizing that he took your chance, that he wasn’t afraid to walk with me and he wanted to forever share with me a dance I hope that it kills you when I barely speak to you and pretend that I don’t care, I hope that you can see it in my eyes that I’m not really there That I am somewhere far away, wrapped up in the happiness that I have found, that I may be standing in front of you, but my head it is up in the clouds I hope that you hear my laughter as he whispers into my ear, and I pray that once you walk away there will be at least one tear I hope that the smile that you see on my beautiful face, I pray it is etched into your memory, knowing that another put it there, because with me is where he wanted to be I hope that it hits you hard, the reality that you’re not the reason why, I am smiling profusely now and that I have no need to cry And in that moment as we say our goodbyes and our wish you well, I pray that you look back at me and see that I loved myself That I didn’t let you destroy me, that I didn’t let you get the best of me, and I pray that when you go to sleep that night it’s my face that you see I pray the realization hits you like a slap in the face, your mind telling your heart it was her all along, it was always her, but I no longer hold that place.
