gabrielle-hinojosa - Hello Poetry

If only I knew It would be like this Late nights Reading ‘til my eyes grow weary Dinner, bath, story, bed Read some more I should’ve been done Had that degree Got that job Nope, plans changed Found you first Then we had her If I knew Honestly, I’d leave it all the same All the chaos The goodnight kisses Even the bickering Cuz without you, I’d have nothing No motivation Barely even a dream

If only I knew It would be like this Late nights Reading ‘til my eyes grow weary Dinner, bath, story, bed Read some more I should’ve been done Had that degree Got that job Nope, plans changed Found you first Then we had her If I knew Honestly, I’d leave it all the same All the chaos The goodnight kisses Even the bickering Cuz without you, I’d have nothing No motivation Barely even a dream

in the reflection is a woman nothing special late twenties two eyes, mouth, nose, two ears just the same as you only not the same these two brown eyes dull, empty have seen life, death good days, bad love, hate beauty, pain this smile as bright as the sun hiding true feelings so well, it’s believable happy, even absent in solitude but you, what do you see do you see what’s in the reflection or do you see the things I’ve seen the things I’ve hidden I’m not sure if I’ll ever see what you see though, if you let me, I’d like to try

When things are bad When you find out I’m selfish When I make mistakes Will you want me? Is it okay If it’s everyday Still want me? Good days are few Anger is constant Bitter Self absorbed That okay too? After all Unconditional means Those conditions too

I lost sight Longer than a moment I forgot who we were before I couldn’t see who we used to be Before we got here No peace No laughter Just silence And anger I lost hope How can we get back? Back to who we used to be.. I’m still lost But lost in you I know who you are I know who you were And you still love me. I’m lost. Trying Remembering Laughing With you, lost Loving you, still ❤️
