Broken Hearted, and Optimistic

It’s been a while since I’ve had this feeling in my chest Or had someone constantly on my mind. Like a song you constantly sing Because it helps you get through the day I keep singing about what she did or said That allowed her to somehow find her way into my heart. Perhaps it’s her voice She sounds like an angel that fell from heaven Injured her vocal cords on impact And is trying to find her voice. Maybe it’s the way her cheeks curl up when she smiles? Or the way she looks at me? Seeing right through me leveling me with her eyes. One thing is sure—god didn’t Waste a single inch When he made her. She walked into the room, And my hearts been stalling. She took my hand and lead me Back to a time when I was unbroken. We danced in the night. The loud music began to simmer And it felt like time slowed. Just kiss her I told myself. Our faces moved closer together Her eyes starred into mine Her cheeks began to curl as if she discovered something special. I put my thumbnail to the bottom Of her chin, She raised her heels off the ground. A blissful kiss. Finally, what I’ve been wanting was in my arms. We both have been broken, but when we were together Our broken pieces seemed to fit together. My hearts been broken and it’s been whole. Dreams of you and me Constantly playing in my mind Dirty dancing in the dark. Traveling the world There seemed nothing we couldn’t do. She gave me attention gave me hope. I gave her all of me, But she found something new… See love is a game, And like anything else in life it will end. You will either win or lose. When you lose, it will hurt. A broken heart is one of the worst feelings in the world Because something you wanted, loved, and invested time into is no longer possible. BUT there’s always tomorrow. There are always positives to take away. Focus on them. The right one will come Just be patient. Enjoy the game, be grateful for the memories and the opportunity because love is one complex mother f*****.
