Fall In….Fall Out…

Falling in love

it takes a time or two

before you see the benefits

before you see the truth.

Falling out of love

can be done gradually

taken over time

or it can end just like that.

It took a lot of bravery

to tell the one I loved

that indeed I did love him.

It took a lot of courage

to reach out and say

I would regret it if I didn’t.

Now though

the pain diminishes

each time the messaage is not yours.

The hurt

the expectations

that feeling in the pit of my stomach

all disappeared.

No longer do I feel sorry for myself

but I sure do feel sorry for you

’cause honey I am the bomb

and I could have blown up your world.
