It's not always easy to let someone go when you love them. At the same time, not everything is set to be. There are probably going to be many instances where things don't work out as planned.

This is a poem I wrote to fit that setting. This is about a guy who made some mistakes in a relationship with a girl, but the situation is too far gone for anything to be fixed. He just hopes that no one ever has to feel as down as he does realize he messed up. He sees the beauty within her, but sometimes people don't realize what they have...until it's gone.

I Hope He Can

I drag each and every day

Feeling ruptured and defective

I wish I could hide it all

but the pain won't let me be so selective

I knew the moment would come eventually

It aches we just weren't meant to work

But yet I always feel you there

With your tears still on my shirt

Your makeup still on my pillow

Your hair laced in my bed

Yet when I roll over each night

I feel the emptiness I dread

So even though it hurts

Because I know you'll find someone new

I hope he grows to see the perfection

That is deeply ingrained in you

I hope he loves your laugh

The way you chuckle

the way you talk

The way your face fills with wonder

Like a child playing with chalk

I hope he soothes you when you cry

Because let's face it

It's a lot

But it's only because you care so much

That it boils

Like a pot

I hope he spoils you with affection,

And is patient while you do eyeshadow

Because even though you love your makeup brushes

You're just as beautiful without them

I just hope…

That he can do everything right

Because I don't want anyone to fall so deeply...

And lose you…

As did I…
