For the first time since you left me,
I was able to look at you without pain,
For the first time since you left me,
I could truly be happy with you only as my friend,
For the first time since you left me,
I could honestly hope you're happy with him.

Each day gets a little easier,
And each day I laugh a little more.
Each day life begins to mean something again,
And each day I learn to love again.
Each day I care about you a litle less,
And each day I grow a little stronger

I still hear the words you spoke, and I still feel your warm touch,
But the memorie no longer hurts.
Every day before now I felt your gaze like scalding knives.
And every day before now I couldn't bare to look at you.
For the first time since you left me though,
I stand strong and feel no pain


The author's comments:
This was written after my best friend and I split up. I have read this to a few people, and one said that it was an emo, deppressing, 'I can't beleive she left me' poem. If you feel this way after reading this then I'm sorry to tell you that you missed the entire point of the poem. This poem is about getting stronger and learning to love and trust again.

I'll put more as soon as I have it. Lol.

With me, I don't really like what I write unless I'm writing it when I'm feeling very passionately about something, whether it's good or bad. Lol

Yeah, this poem was ture to me. I was oing through a really bad break-up before I wrote this, but then I realized the stuff that enabled me to move on. After a while, I wrote this poem partially as in inspiration to myself and partially as a spirit boost for anyone else going through a bad break-up. ;)

If that poem is really true to you, then you're really lucky! I never forget about those that I love, and it always hurts when I see them.
