I imagined a place in your heart and mind
But both of those places
Have become occupied
by a better tenant of your choice
I was waiting to see if you were
the right home for me
But I didn't put in my offer
fast enough.
Now my dream home is being
lived in, felt, breathed in, and cared for
by a tenant who is much better than me
I was ready
I had packed all my boxes,
The most meaningful memories
ready to be unleashed in this home
But now I'm left astray
with these boxes
in my U-Haul
That I don't know where to drive
I have to find another place,
But I can't move on right now
I can't find one as good as yours
Maybe your house wasn't as
great as I thought
and it was a sign from God
But now I'm stranded
Figuring out where to take this truck full of
boxes and heavy feelings
I secretly hope that your tenant will grow to dislike
what you're leasing out
I hope she'll one day decide to move out
and hope that you will offer it to me.
