I haven't posted in a while, and I'm going to post it here, when my muse hits me. I may post it in sections, but I'll change the title when it's finished.


I have been with someone else for just over a year,
And I have realized something.
I now know what it's like to be loved.
To have someone who would bend over backwards
Just to make you happy
Yet, it just hit me,
As I talk to her on the phone
Conversing about the past
Realizing that the first love that I had was in vain,
That it was one-sided.
Every time, dishing out something
Be it monetary, my time, or something else.
I gave my heart away, and got it back in pieces.
I have reluctantly, and cautiously, given it to another
And she has reconstructed it
Made me wake up from the hell that I came from
Realizing my true potential
Showing me that I am ten, no one hundred times greater
Than what I was tha fateful day, in August 2005
When I lay eyes on her for the first time
The new girl has made me realize that life is better than giving and giving
That I should recieve something in return
Not just give out
I have seen many new things with this new girl,
And quite frankly, I like it
I doubt that I'll leave,
For the new things are intriguing
And better than the past (despite some nightmares)
I must say this now, or it will haunt me forever,
Goodbye to my Ex, and although I despise you
I wish you good luck in your future,
Not because I have any feelings for you (I left those behind on that November night), but because I'm a good human being
And I care for all of my children
No matter what they do to me

(Side note: I was going to change the title, but names are better left for cars, and those who like naming things, so I left it as I wrote it about 10 minutes ago)
