I am Marley free
From boxes I am
Pandora free from furies
And I am Prometheus
Free from his chains
I am finally free
From the one ghost
That’s been haunting me
And like my friends
Above now that we’re
No longer bound what
Might we have learned
That mistakes no matter
How big or small
Were all just choices
We must take responsibility
For lessons befallen us
If we are ever
To move past them
You don’t know you
Just don’t know how
Many times I pulled
Up but never got
Out you don’t know
How many letters or
How many texts I
Started and then deleted
Knowing that when you
Walked out you walked
Out of us and
Back into only you
I was a stranger now
And if we ever
Should stumble upon each
Other it would be
No better no worse
No more familiar or
No more odd than
The very first time
Sometimes letting people go
Gives them a chance
To come back once
They are ready to
And he was ready
You know well you
Do know this you
Know even though you
Will deny this you
Always do when you
Don’t want to you
Say no it’s you
You do that you
Think that only you
No one but you
You’re right it’s you
I think about you
But come on you
Do too don’t you
Sometimes you find happiness
In the unlikely places
Steamy early morning coffee
During the mornings sunrise
That last whispered goodnight
Followed by that first
Surprisingly ticklish good morning
But now I realize
That where I find
My happiest of happiness
Is in your eyes
When you say that
You love someone else
What you are really
Saying is that they’re
Enough enough for you
Perfect enough pretty enough
Funny enough kissable enough
They are not everything
What they likely are
Is everything you aren’t
And more than enough
