I spent my night with him tonight Wrapped up in covers Wrapped up in dreams He consoled me of all of my troubles And reminded me that life is not all as it seems
There was some magic tonight He made me believe in love again Like when we first were together Staying out past 2 a.m. Hiccuping from laughing so hard
The connection we had returned again And He inspired me Instead of you, to keep writing
The way he looked at me, The way he held My hand, The way he smiled that smile.
You are not my muse anymore That's why I wanted to give up writing Because everywhere I turned, you were waiting for me In every blank Title (optional) In any poem I read, I found you.
But the freeing thing I realized tonight By lying in his arms Is that poetry is what I make of it I can read a poem about love And it doesn't have to make me think of you Because I have so many other wonderful people in my life I can write about other things than heartbreak and memories I can write of hope and happiness
So yes, you were the reason I started writing poetry But that doesn't mean that you should be the reason I stop.
I know it didn't take long for me to write again, but I realized that it isn't worth it to live your life for other people's approval or happiness. I write because I love to write, and that shouldn't matter either way
