I Just Hope This Happens (Poem #7)

I hope that the next time you’ll talk about love
your eyes will be shining
not from tears, but from happiness

I hope the next time his name’s brought up
your pulse will stay as it is
you wont flinch
you won’t close your eyes
you’d mention another name
and your face will light up again

I hope the next time i’d come over
you’d be baking and humming
you’d greet me with a huge smile
but i’ll remember how it was back then..

How i saw you lying on the bathroom floor
tears streaming down your face
his memories scattered all over the place

Then i’d realize
how it has become
I would hug you and say

“He was never the one,
I’m sorry you have to go through
heartache after heartache
before realizing your mistake”
