Guarded

Guarded against who I shouldn’t be. 
I do not want to be.
I try not to be.
Yet somewhere along the road
I learned I had to be.
Now will I continue to be?

Love On A Different Caliber

I think I loved you.
I think I still love you.
Not in the way I loved her.
It’s indescribable.
Not able to fit in any box.
It’s different.
Heavier.
Deeper.
But it’s real.
Heavier than platonic.
Lighter than romantic.
Yet it still holds weight.
Though I could never name it.
Couldn’t even place it.
I felt it.
I knew your place was different.
I loved you.
I still love you. 
I’ll always love you.
It’s a soul kind of love.
Like a keepsake
Reminding me of home.
Like a souvenir to a tribe,
To a place I know will always be home.
Never found a name for it.
Never managed to fit it in a box.
Only knew what it felt like:
Familiar but not quite so.
Love, but on a different caliber.

I Loved You

I loved you. 
I didn't know it then,
But I know it now.

I had wanted you then. 
Yet I don't want you now,
And I can't have you anyways.

I loved you. 
I still love you,
But I have to move on now.

You're happy now.
That's more than I could wish for,
And one day, I'll be happy too.

I loved you.
Not in love with you, 
But I loved you. 

I actually loved you.

One Day: Version 2

One day,
I’ll be able to look at you and not cry.
One day, 
I’ll be able to look at you and smile.
One day,
I’ll be able to actually look at you with,

Nothing but hope.
Nothing but admiration.
Nothing but appreciation.
Nothing but gratitude. 
Nothing but love.

But not today 
And tomorrow might be the same.
But one day.

One day,
I’ll be able to look at you and not break down.
One day,
I’ll be able to look at you and not feel my heart breaking.
One day,
I’ll be able to look at you and say, “She’s so beautiful.”

No hurt.
No pain.
No tears.
No sorrow.
No regrets.

One day.
