Ive been waiting since August
For that one phone call,
For the one apology,
For that one change
To make everything better.
Ive been waiting since August
For the Former me to return,
Along with other misplaced
Items, and characteristics.
Ive been thinking since August
About how naive I was to
Every palpable warning
Apparent to everyone
But me.
Ive been sitting since August,
Staying in the same spot
Loathing, and debating on whether
Or not to move, as I let certainty
Pass me by.
Ive been changed since August.
Im no longer who I was,
And maybe thats a bad thing
But ive accepted the gap I fell into
Was large enough to render me stuck.
Ive woken up since August.
My pupils discolored from sights of you
And my brain tarnished with imbedded memories.
But then again, thats what happens
When you stare at the sun too long.
Ive left since August, onto greater and better things,
Just like everyone says, but I really have found something,
or should I say someone, deserving of my love, and worth my time.
Ive loved since August, someone whos opened my eyes to the
Beauty around me, and made me realize that im not such a bad person,
And that maybe, just maybe, i can move on, forget, and love once again.
Ive learned since August, how to trust and forgive, that I have the power to change my circumstances and not let my past determine my future, that Ill be okay, not just okay but, happy, Happier without you, all I need to do is chose to.
Ive made my decision since August, and its the best thing ive ever done.
