No more talk

no more talk
of what was
or what wasn’t
no could have been
or should have been
looking forward
the past
is left behind

the ‘we’
that we were
together
is a history lesson
of miscommunications
misunderstandings
and missed opportunities
we’ve learned from it
no need
or time
to relive it

today
stronger and wiser
more resilient
more understanding
more accepting
we know
ourselves
we love
ourselves

I celebrate you
finding love
my search continues
pain and gain
a bar has been set
and you
a tough act to follow

hopeful
thoughtful
and thankful
patient
competent
and resilient

embracing life
taking warmth
from the sun
reaching
for the stars
dancing
to my own rhythmn
love is in my heart
