Not The Same!

I remember the day we met as if it were only yesterday.

On bended knees, you looked up at me, as I smiled.

Looking back at you, I wish you knew what I saw.

Perfection in disguise, gently and playfully you also smiled.

Then disappeared from my sight, with no one at my side.

Full of fear, I searched for you both day and night.

When I finally found you, you were not the same.

For an instance I thought I recognized you, then I walked away.

Only to realize how wrong I was, you were with another.

I felt deserted, thrown away by my friend and partner.

Just wanted you to know the importance of choosing,

To wait for that unique  person, one that would have complimented me in life.

As much as I have grown and see, I wish I had known my fate.

I would have kneeled on one knee beside you and say;

Please do not walk away, for if you do I will change, I will never be,

The girl that stands shyly smiling admiringly looking back at you.

My Desire was Unreal

Loved you as if you cared. Lost you as if you were ever mine. Thinking one day you'll surely, Love and want me a fter I'm gone. Your love's obscure, like an object on the ocean floor,  Til the tide brings it ashore, it's existence obscure invisible 'til it's touch is real. XOXO 💖 A heart throb song Your smile made me want to send you flowers.

It is not you but me.

Never thought I’d ever grasp The “it is not you but me,” concept, with time I got it. It was not that I was not good enough. It was that he messed up. Could not appreciate, recognize value. No matter how intelligent he was. Didn't matter that he had my love, was applauded and respected by all around, had many accomplishments. When it came to appreciating fine women he was lacking. Wished only the best for him and whoever falls ‘n becomes my replacement. My advice would be to lower expectations, don't achieve more or exercise great moral, or she would also will comprehend, The “it is not you but me” phrase.

Feeling Greatful/Behind the Lyric

Two days before hurricane Harvey I got a report from my neurologist saying I had two benign brain tumors. It took me a few days to process her message and by then hurricane Harvey hit. My house got 6 inches of water in it. A week after the storm a remediation company came and they cut 24 inches of wall throughout my home and cleaned up all the mud that covered the floors. I did my usual wining to my trusted friends, then after that I sent my medical information unto a relative who reviewed the findings. Like real estate in where a tumor is located determines value, location determines the need for swift action. Mine was in the retina canal, millimeters behind the optic nerve. Even noncancerous legions grow and that was the danger I was faced. I got to the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnesota Wednesday night two weeks ago. On monday last week the tumor was removed. I spent the rest of last week in recovery and the step down unit. Today, I am home and the sheet rock people are her
