sometimes

Close

I thought I’d try writing about you
now that I’m in love.

Now that I’ve met someone
who always leaves me forgetting your name
as well as your crime.

I’m with someone now
that I’m sure of and
the warmth of trust
is a feeling I like.

She makes me feel connected
and gives me calm.
She reminds me that I am complete
and worth more than I expect.

I’ve made enough mistakes to start making a few less
And I’ve said too many things not to believe in deeds now.

We both know what honesty means
and we love each other enough to use it.

I am too sure to not use it.

The damage you did is just a memory now
that if I strain I can remember little parts of.

I cried and I wrote and I got better;
And now that I’m with her,
I can see why I did it.
