Bad thoughts on a Good day

One of my friends graduated today,

But as I came home bad thoughts lingered.

They brought me back to you,

And it made me realize how torn up I still am.

 

I don’t know exactly what I need.

If it is time, let it be…

Everyone I talk to about this says that it takes time…

Well, I have been waiting and time has been ticking and sadly I’m still here.

 

I don’t know what to do.

I have found another,

But the seeds of doubt and uncertainty that you planted are starting to grow.

And on the horizon, I can visualize history repeating itself.

 

I don’t know…

Maybe closure would have made this a little more bearable.

Instead of finding out that you’ve moved on, while I was stuck.

How fast one can move from love?

Was it love…?

I certainly thought it was, but maybe I was wrong.

 

I want this to go away so I can cherish the one I’m with.

But it’s not going away…

The only thing I do know is that it seems like this pain is here to stay.

 

- j.m.
