One Day Out of the Blue

One day out of the blue, I was compelled by reality’s bite to release him from the prisons of my obsession he was bound only by my imagination, my doubts my hopes One day out of the blue, I was met by his green eyes Like a snake I recoiled Uncouth were the qualms And I misgave him As I felt the wind of his passing Incessantly Out of the blue I realized how selfish I was Like sand in my shoes, It would take days Effort, to shake away To open my eyes And fully awaken to the absence Of someone I never quite knew My impacts on you were weak There was nothing extraordinary About our reunion All that was notable Was my realization My tear-jerking epiphanies And the result— Emptiness One day out of the blue You will continue to be absent And I will be able to say I’m okay That I am not unworthy, That I am not miserly For thinking I had loved you I will solidify the reasons, the tears— With the truth

Very internal Laura, many, many and did I say many years ago, Lol, I "fell in love" with someone only to realize that what I was actually in love with was the idea of being in love and it had little to do with the person I thought I was in love with. An epiphany for me. A lovely write about self realization.

You understand this very well, James. It took me years to realize what you came to realize.... this too has been my epiphany, especially this year. I am still learning to let go. Guess that's what happens to the hopeless romantics!! Lol If you go back through my poetry, a lot has been dedicated to the green-eyed man elucidated in this poem. Thank you for sharing your experience with me...i appreciate your words. ~Laura
