Hometown Visit

My last visit home was sad, but true All weekend I waited, just to see you But the expectations I held, were much too high Lowest place on the totem pole, there was I When finally, we met after a lot of time wasted It felt like my presence was nothing but hasted My words, though genuine, read much like a song Of love, loss, sorrow, and timing gone wrong Your response to my letter, still I await Forward motion requires a slow, but steady pace The absence of you in my day, at times it's still hard It's easier for you, but you had a head start Luckily, this visit home was different in nature A reason to celebrate, made time pass much easier Still, reminders were there, and felt in my midst Sending a text to say hello, was hard to resist So as this week passes, and a new one begins Seven more days to wonder if or where, I fit in But the longer I wait, the more healing I do What matters most in the end, is I get over you August 24, 2020 @katladyt_
