Virtuous

Don't tell me I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm passionate
That I have drive
Tell me that I make you laugh
That I know how to make your day better
Don't tell me I seem nice
Tell me that I'm kind and compassionate
Tell me that I'm not afraid to dream and to dream big
Don't tell me I'm perfect
Tell me the you love me despite my flaws
That you want to spend the rest of your life with me
Don't tell me I'm beautiful
Tell me that you'll be faithful and forever true

Losing it.

I don’t know what’s happening anymore.
My mind
It can’t concentrate on one thing.
I can’t focus,
Everything is all a blur.
I’m losing it.
I’m losing people.
And every time I go to think
I see flashes of us
dancing in the living room , burning cookies, and singing trash songs.
i ****** at love.
You ****** at giving in to much.
But not this time
I messed up.
Everything.
We had.
And now, your dancing with someone else.

Closure

Now it's clear to me
When I saw you after what felt like eternity
And you were no longer just a ghost of the past,
It was not you that I yearned for.
I was in love with the memories,
The memories that deluded me into thinking that you still take my breath away like you used to.
It doesn't matter now anyway.
Neither you, nor the memories seem so enticing now.
The butterflies are dead.
I found peace.
