Mercurialmink - Secrets I Keep

One day

I'll listen to music and not think of you.

I'll pass you in the hall without feeling my stomach drop

I'll see your first name without automatically thinking of you,

and I'll look around a room full of people without searching for you.

I think the part of me that hopes you'll reach out and explain what happened will always remain.

Tonight I saw a really neat bird (a juvenile yellow-crowned night-heron), and I thought of you. I was super excited about it and got an awesome photo. I wish I had someone to share it with (someone who'd be equally as excited to see it).

One day, I'll find my person, and we'll be excited about all the little things together.

I don't hate you.

I'm angry, I'm sad, and I feel betrayed. But I don't wish you any harm.

I wish for your healing.

Not You

He's gentle.

He's kind.

He doesn't leave me behind.

And best of all

He's always on my side.
