I didn't think it would happen this way
or that it could happen so fast.
That I would learn to let go go of my ex
and finally let go of the past.
We weren't meant to hook up that night
I had intentions of driving home.
But you insisted I stay with you
rather than have me sleep alone.
There was something about your smile
and the way that you made me feel.
That everything I felt inside
would help my heart to heal.
It's a little sad that how I felt then
was what I used to feel for my ex.
Before the love and effection died
and it became just about the sex.
I laid next to you in the dark
waiting to fall asleep.
And I smiled for the first time,
this moment was mine to keep.
I rolled over on my side
occassionally staring at the time.
And I listened to you sleep
as your breathing matched with mine.
Morning came quickly
followed by a morning hug and kiss.
Pillow talk and then laughter
to show there was nothing better than this.
* To be continued...
Author notes
After a heartbreaking split wid my ex, I recently allowed myself to feel happy again with someone else yet I'm still learning to let go of the guilt and remember that my ex no longer wanted me for his own reasons and that I deserve to be happy and I need to put myself first for once.. since he never did.

good it's kinda stuck in between happyness and saddness so if you can clrify which it is i would a preatiate it very much
great poem either way, but in the first stanza 3 line, you repeated the word go just a suggestion -
That was really well written.
"And I smiled for the first time,

Is my fav part..... it's the lil moments that mean the most. Well done.

Sounds like you deserve to be happy again and this does sound like a "to be continued" type story.
A lovely write.
