Start Over Again Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I want to start over
I want to continue to get closer
If it’s worth the fight
Then we’d battle to the end
I start to write you a message
But then I keep from pressing send
I read your away’s
And it discourages me from doing things my own way
I just want to go back
And I try to be strong so I won’t be as sad
But it’s really hard for me to
Hard to be strong when there is no you
Now I’m sitting here listening to prince
Knowing that when I was with someone else
With you is where I should’ve been
I just want another try
One last chance to be by your side
One last time to be held in your embrace
One last meter to finish our race
We started but never reached the finish line
And that pops up in my head when I’m about to cross it every time
So I always speed and finish all the way through
Cause in my heart that’s what I really want to do
But it just doesn’t seem to be enough
So I give up on love…
And decide to do what you did and
Let go of us
