I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Slow, Gentle Continental Drift
I stayed because you were the only one who thought I could be better.
I stayed because you were the only one who thought I could be better. I stayed so that you could get better. I stayed....
But then I checked out, I was naive and got scared...I feel ya bro ...I wish I could have her back but sadly, she was too strong willed, wise and experienced in love....so one morning when I got the courage to make it better then is when I realised I had already been dumped for too long.
Sometimes people stay till the kids grow up. Sometimes people stay because it's comfortable. I don't have the kind of words to express what it has meant to me that my husband, my son and my daughter...stayed. Love is the reason they stayed and it kept me alive.

The last two lines are so relevant to my life right now.
ReplyDeleteLove your poems they really help and inspire me
ReplyDeleteTruth in my life right now. This is amazing. Your work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI stayed so that we could finally be okay.
ReplyDeleteBut you never asked me to stay.
Genius! Speaking to someone, or no one, or to everyone and in the end have the same result.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you can stay for us, always forever
