crush III — December

Part III — December

Ohhh gorgeous man

It wasn’t you, after all.

My heart took a fall, but —

I’m not ashamed of love.

I was drawn to learn

… something… from you.

We always learn —

Though not always what we came for.

I learned about what you do

In your life, your passions, your projects

(Some of it I filed “don’t do” — 

All data is useful...)

I learned about myself

What I used to accept

What I won’t anymore — 

I am new.

I am grateful too

For experience, growth, insight;

For how sweet you were — 

Until you weren’t.

It’s okay.

My heart is clear

My heart is full

My heart is capable

My heart grows.
