Everything is about new beginnings
Today is a new beginning
So is tomorrow
Weights are lifted
Memories are softened
Fear no longer consumes me
Goodbye is not etched into my
bones
Only “Hello’s” and soft smiles
I’ll watch my life begin just
as fast as I’d thought it had ended
Life is no longer about waiting
Waiting for him to come back
Waiting for him to apologize
I am no longer waiting
He is not who I am
I am the breeze on a hot
summer day
I am the rain in the night that
lures one to sleep
I am not the negative things
people think about me
I am worth more
I am not damaged goods
Pain will vanish
Time will heal
The tire marks he left in my yard
will disappear
I will forget the color of his eyes
and the way his hands felt in mine
But, there are better things to hold onto
than the thought of a man that isn’t coming back.
