Now

I will get up
dim rays of light will break through the grey
it’s the same ritual
last night I picked out
the clothes
that I would wear this morning
I searched through my wardrobe
touched the fabrics
softly placed them on the chair
all the things I love are here
without you
everything is the same
but in a different place

I had chosen you
and I was never going to leave you
I don’t know
how people leave so easily
it’s not the typical grumbling
that follows a break-up
but everything seems volatile
people seem to fit phases
not other people
and then they leave

I wanted you
so everything else revolved around that
you had to fit
and if you didn’t
I would change it all

Your soul knows what it wants
and when it finds it
you have to do it
everything else
is cowardice

I don’t think people should break up
over such trivial matters
I believe they should try
until their very last breath
to keep the person they found

forever

I thought you were the love of my life
but now I am faced with a bigger tragedy
than losing you
now I stand against myself
and I was wrong
because love is not like that

but even if it is
I will never believe that
