A Resilient Heart

We would be getting married tomorrow. If only December me knew what I know. I would have put more thought into that And realized I needed glossy, not matte. Has my body forgotten your touch, And my heart, that adrenaline rush? Has my mind moved on from the distrust From what always felt less want than must? The thing we had was fun and free But I think you lost you, and I lost me. Now we’re finding ourselves out again Taking time to find what we didn’t know then And I could finally wake up and feel peace without you here When I realized how long you had stopped wanting me near. I’m relieved that we aren’t tying the knot; It was never meant to be, and whatnot. So tomorrow I think I’ll remember who I was And be grateful for who I am with applause There’s only One who deserves the credit For the woman I am because of your exit. I hope that you’re healing and doing well. Hearts are resilient, our love gone like we never fell.
