February Poem by debbie alaras

It was December when I had the chance to talk to you
I was sober and broke because my first love and I argue
My eyes are swollen and my heart’s broken
All I want to do is run away from him but I never expected I would run to you.

When your hand touches mine and then wipes away my tears
When your eyes look so weary and hurt because you feel my fears
And when you smile, it took everything I feel and made me feel like
Falling in love all over again.

I shook my head; it felt like I was in a dream
I am the princess and you are my prince Charming
How can that be? When I am still hurt
I am in the process of letting go and I don’t want you both.

I walked away, silent and proud
Because I know the next day I would find you within the crowd
If things go wrong and were not meant to be
I’ll gladly walk away and won’t let you see me.

But by the next day, just right at our door
You stopped by and said, “Can we give it a try? ”
My heart smiled and my mind wanders
Will I ever be good enough to be his girl?

That was the story I had in mind
Too bad it didn’t end up right
We had our great moments together
But like any other, you let my heart suffer.

Tomorrow’s supposed to be our 5th year
All I have were good memories to cherished forever
You have given me so much and I learned from it
You’re one of the people I had to forget.
