Rearranging Needed

Thoughts of positivity after last nights love affair
I saw a glimpse of the man I loved; floating through the air
Emotional and loving, stating he’d be nothing without my love
I’m lost inside those beautiful eyes staring down at me from above

Tender gentle caresses as he pulls my body near
Soft kisses surround me entirely and for once I feel no fear
Here lies the man I once knew, so passionate and full of care
Praying the essence of his being remains as he gently strokes my hair

I have so much love for this man, yet he’s let me down so many times
Giving my trust and respect again feels just like I’m committing a crime
Trying to understand that all of us are subject to change throughout this life
Holding on to lost memories no forward progression; still implementing this strife

I’ve realized the time has come to put my past fully behind me at last
To cherish every moment as it comes and never make assumptions about the past
Maybe he was always the man he was; maybe it was I who had actually changed
Optimism running through my body as I begin to proudly rearrange
