Today, I smile
After so many tears,
and all of the confusion,
After the repeated prayers,
I was given an answer.
And no it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
And yes there are times where you have to get hurt to see clear.
The answer I needed was no.
All of the signs were clear
but, it was me
who said,
"well maybe there's still hope."
I couldn't fathomlosing him.
All of what I put hard work into?!
The one who seems to still make my heart flutter?!
I've been exposed to his true colors
One too many times
but I was blinded
by my unrealistic expectations.
I was hoping for so much more,
that I couldn't take no for an answer.
It took that last straw
that broke the camel's back
for me to understand
that that "no" was good for me.
He is a true deserter
and I've got no reason
to keep holding on.
Today,
I smile
because it's all
Over.
