epiphonies

i'm not who i used to be, 

and it's all because of you.

the love i hold for you

has proved it's not going anywhere.

i tried to leave it behind,

i suppressed it and convinced myself

that none of it was real,

and did a pretty good job,

for a while.

but eventually, reality surfaced.

i went through

jealousy,

hate,

rage,

loss and sadness.

but the worst was thinking you'd moved on,

and having no one to blame but myself.

i couldn't blame you...

you waited your turn,

it just came too late.

now it's my turn to wait.

i'm done with the jealousy,

because we're not going anywhere.

i'm done with the hate,

because anyone would have done the same.

i'm yours, babe,

and i'm done with knowing anything but that.

i love you, with all my heart.

always have.

always will.

when you feel love, hold on to it. do everything you can to keep it, even if you've lost it.

sometimes, second (and more) chances don't come so easily, but that shouldn't stop you from attempting to get them anyway.
