Out of the ashes

The ruins of what once was

Comes a solution

The possibility of something better

No it’s not my ex

It’s a new, a better relationship

A fresh start at happiness

Slate of the past wiped clean as it no longer matters

The present, the future

Has arrived on wings of gold, her heart shrouded in a white ore

Relief overwhelms me as my imagination runs off with her

There are no fights, no uncertainties, not even a single lie from her

Trusting more than ever before

Because we Both want it to last

More intimate, more fun

The focus isn’t on the past, it’s on the present, the future

Success in ourselves, a forward momentum toward each other’s future

The birth of something awesome

The present

Mourned the old relationship, had a wake, cried it out through sorrow’s words

Ripped off the rear view mirror, I’m only looking to the future

Accepted what happened, forgave her, moved on

In life we hurt the ones we care the most about

Who doesn’t make mistakes

This was a time when I was lost in the “what went wrong”

What wasn’t good enough for her to act in the way she did

Had to let go of the desire

For an apology, for her to make up for her wrongs

Completely forgave her, it was the only way

Because I truly cared, my emotions got the best of me

Said things I regret, even subconsciously sabotaged  every good thing

Turning my back on all my blessings in life

All over the grief of losing her

Knew I was in a black hole, knew things had to change on the inside

Had to smash all the negative’s like Thor’s hammer

Still emotionally vulnerable, don’t wont to be reckless

Don’t want to replace what I had

Don’t want to settle for another

Just to be close to someone

For the idea of companionship

Took thirty days to myself

Built a wall of self-esteem around my Heart

I’m an attractive person, interesting and well rounded

Women find me sexy

I know who I am

What I want and where I’m going in life

Other women desire me

I have options

No time for self-loafing

I love myself to much

The power of swallowing my pride, in order to move on with the future   

 By irony she returned

No she wasn’t my ex

She was a new woman

Because I became a new man

A better man, a stronger man

This time around

It wasn’t lust that drove us closer together

It was the other “L” word

The one that really matters

This time around

Love had come to town

And was our foundation

Love
