Whatever it takes, to move on, to let go
Must not have those kind of thoughts
Must not daydream
Must not sigh, regret, or despair
Just let it flow, let it go
What’s done is done
What’s meant to be will be
Even though it is really hard to believe that right now
It is really hard to see how my future will be altered
So I can finally maybe have my “happy ending”
Happy ending?
I don’t believe in fairy tales
I don’t believe in soul mates
I do believe in love though
In its power to expand, grow, and heal
Bring peace, joy, and comfort
To change even the worst into good
Still I don’t want to rush
Because as said fools rush in
I don’t want to be blind
I don’t want to have to change
Or give up any part of me just to
“Make it work”
If I change or sacrifice
I want it to be genuine
I want it to be unconditionally given out of love
I don’t want to be desperate
And just “settle”
Or do something mad
And feel ashamed or dumbfounded
By my possessed behavior the next day
I don’t want to force any situations
Just let chemistry and falling in love
Take its natural course
And hope my love is strong enough
To last beyond that lusty high stage
I have lived long enough
To have had my heart broken a couple of times
I have seen enough
To just sometimes not care
And not want to make an effort anymore
I have felt deeply enough
To sometimes not know what to do with myself
Enough that sometimes I wish my heart wasn’t so big
Yet in the end despite the sorrow, heartache, and regret
Despite my wisdom enough to know
I could just shut my mouth, shut my mind, shut my heart
Never feel pain again
Yet life without pain allows no room for growth
More opportunities for one’s love to grow
I have my “woe-is-me” moments
Still I know tomorrow anything is possible
I know I have the power to choose
Sometimes all it takes is exercising your willpower
It can make a profound difference in a moment, in a relationship
Still I know I am strong enough to be on my own
I don’t need a knight in shining armor
I am not damsel in distress
I don’t need anyone to tell me you’re beautiful or so smart
I could have worked hard all day or been incredibly lazy
I still value myself above anything else at the end of the day
Especially when I know God created me
In the end it’s just this simple truth
When comes down to the roots of this complicated web
Of emotion, wisdom, and heartache
I am just human and wish to be loved like everyone else
And wish to share my love
"Sometimes the greatest love is not found in the dramatic scenes that poets and writers immortalize. Often, the greatest manifestations of love are the simple acts of kindness and caring we extend to those we meet along the path of life. True love lasts forever. It is eternally patient and forgiving. It believes, hopes, and endures all things. That is the love our Heavenly Father bears for us. We all yearn to experience love like this. Even when we make mistakes, we hope others will love us in spite of our shortcomings—even if we don’t deserve it." - Joseph B. Wirthlin, “The Great Commandment,” Ensign, Nov 2007, 28–31

What beautiful poetry - thanks for giving us a way to see into your heart. I'm glad it is "so big" and that you have found a way to share it with all of us. Suzanne
When someone comes along who is as honest of heart and compassionately sensitive as you are, that's when someone will be good enough for you.
