Inspired By My Own Book Series
I search in your gaze
For the secrets in your alluring eyes
Golden brown
Deeper than oceans
Nervousness becomes familiar
As I stand here
Mind racing
Eyes locked
“Promise you’ll never leave.”
I take your hand
Eyes aglow
And then I knew
From the smile on your face
To our countless conversations
You were mine forever.

The hardest part
Wasn’t
Noticing the signs
Hoping they won’t notice the way they hurt you
Knowing they don’t care
Leaving first
Telling yourself to move on
To remember
Is to live in the past
Unable to forget
The wonder and happiness
That emerged from the darkness
To remember
Is insanity
To do the same thing repeatedly
I can’t pretend anymore
I’m not okay,
I’ve never been okay
And I don’t think I’ll ever be okay
But every day I’m trying
Every day I’m learning to love the flaws he hated
Every day I’m writing
