it been two years since i lost you, <br />and the years are going up, <br />it gets easier to think of you, <br />but having you here will be nice too, <br />i know you in a good place, <br />i just wanted you to be happy, <br />God took you quickly, <br />you no longer have pain, <br />i can no longer hold onto you, <br /> <br />and i no longer regret that, <br />i know you still by my side, <br />giving me hope and feeling, <br />that everything will be alright, <br />you don't have to be here in person, <br />for me to be alright, <br />because you taught me everything i needed, <br />to be the person you wanted me to be, <br /> <br />i don't have to be surrounded by people, <br />to feel like i belong, <br />because it only makes me feel more alone, <br />i don't have to be accepted, <br />or to appear as normal, <br />for people to accept me, <br />because i am who i am, <br /> <br />i won't change a thing, <br />and i shouldn't have to, <br />just to be liked, <br />you taught me that, <br />why please other people, <br />when it don't make me happy? <br /> <br />and even though i miss you, <br />i'm glad i don't regret you being gone, <br />it was a part of life i don't like, <br />but i can live with it, <br />it is what it is. <br />11/02/10<br /><br />mona martinez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/accepting-the-truth/
