Poem
It's only been a little while, since we both said Goodbye. The pain I felt is better, and I feel no urge to cry. I thought my life was over when you found somebody new. But life goes on, and I was wrong...I can get over you. I finally can drive by your house and not be filled with gloom. I can resist that urge to drive my car right through your room! The thought of someone else inside, where I once used to dwell, No longer makes me feel like I am being put through Hell. I never felt the love I should have known while living there. Sometimes I cried myself to sleep alone in deep despair. Uncertainty and fear was what I felt most of the time, Knowing that dishonesty and cheating were your crimes. I finally found the strength to do what I knew should be done. Get out of there and start anew; the future had begun. You told me you were sorry and my pain you couldn't bear. You knew I couldn't stay once I had learned of your affair. And yet you helped me build the house that I call home these days, It's not too big, it's not too small, It's just right, I would say. I once could see you here in every room within this place. But, time has dimmed the memory; someday there'll be no trace. I never will forget you, for you taught me well, you see. I've been afraid to look for love since you moved on from me. You had no problem finding just what you were looking for, But I was left to wonder, "Could I somehow have done more?" There's no way I could keep you where you didn't want to be, Nor would I want to know you were unhappy here with me. Perhaps the one who took my place inside your home and heart, Will know what steps to take so you will never drift apart. I wish her luck, because she doesn't know the real you yet. The ties that bind will weaken when she sees that you'll forget The promises you made to love and honor will be gone And soon, like me, she'll once again be sleeping all alone. I want so much to just move on and put the past behind I yearn for someone new to love, whose heart is true and kind, I search the eyes and faces of most everyone I see, In hope that someday soon my soulmate recognizes me. I'm ready now to open up my heart and love again Someday I'll find someone who'll take a chance on me, but When? I know the wait will be worth all the pain and all the tears, But part of me can't help but feel I've wasted all these years.
