Epiphany
Warm, exciting, fresh at first
 Wandering, searching, but hey it gets worse
 Cold, depressed, confused, above all HURT
 But today I am none of these, I‘ve found worth
 
 Things never get to me, at least not too easily
 You taught me that
 Don’t expect improvements you'll see and take things breezily
 He taught me that
 Its okay to worry, but don’t do it constantly
 Love taught me that
 
 I used to worry constantly
 I used to let things get to me
 I used to expect too highly
 But…..
 Now I shake off things easily
 Now I take things lightly
 Now I don’t always worry
 Now I can see everything I couldn’t believe
 
 I was confused, lonely and sad
 Tried forgetting, ignoring, even getting you back
 Too much effort for something I won’t have
 You gave me pieces but never let me be your better half
 
 I see you were just trying to be happy
 I see you were nothing but nice to me
 I see we both had our faults, both are guilty
 But I never imagined I would fall in love with someone so unlike me
 
 Prepared for the worst
 If someone besides me got to your heart first
 And yes, it really deeply hurt
 When I least expected it to, I got so attached, lost my worth
 
 No longer confused
 I know who you would choose
 If only I was close enough to touch and not hours away from your street 
 I would be even better than you could imagine I would be
