These rainbow moments that are barely there before they are gone
I have looked in your eyes, it must have been a hundred no a thousand times and yet all
I still see are your beautiful brown irises framed by long lashes
I looked into your face and saw a demeanor characterized by strength of purpose
Yet all I know is indecision
I have searched for your heart in the actions you take and the words you say and yet all
that I see is a friendship borne from studied guile
What am I looking for exactly, what is it I expect to find
I look for you in my laughter and in my tears you inhabit them both I look for you in
the curve of my arm and the sway of my back for you are there too
I have struggled to find you in so many different places and yet you were there all
along allowing me to grow and mature into the woman that I am today
I realize that I was not being prepared for you but by you for someone else and that stings...
I am not meant for you so you say but something keeps pulling me back to you
I crave you in the middle of the night I am dependent upon immediate satisfaction
I want no delays and as I begin my withdrawal
I am struck by how much of my life has spun at your beck and call
how much time have I spent looking into your dreams and not mine
I am realizing that perhaps you made the right call by choosing to end it all
