Then...Now Poem by Jacob Courtney

There was once a time when I couldn't speak your name without feeling anger and pain. I couldn't stand to look at you nor the thought of you with another. I couldn't sleep at night as you haunted my dreams or be with another for they saw you in my soul. That was when I couldn't let you go. Now I say your name and feel pitty and sorrow for you missed out on who I am today. Now I see you for what you are. The thought of you with another no longer tortures me no matter the person. You can no longer haunt my dreams nor you will no longer prevent me from finding another. I will always hold what we had i my heart, but that is all. I have let go of you and I will no longer look back wishing things would be different. I look foreward to see what is ahead.
