THANX

Thought I'd tell you I'm still breathing

That I've gotten through the grieving

I'm sorry that it's taken such awhile

Now I've gotten on with living

Funny life is so forgiving

But it's easy; when I think of you I smile

I don't like to think that I'm naive

But I believe in destiny

And I think somehow fate found us where we were

So if it really is the end of this

I won't regret a single kiss

Cause if nothing else my love for you was pure

I have no bitter memories

But good times often comfort me

With the power still to make me warm inside

So thank you for the escapade

You made me laugh my cares away

And for that you'll be remembered all my life

It's a nice thought.... It's also baloney.  Break ups are messy.  I'm fortunate enough to say that I am not enemies with any of my exs but to have no hurt feelings, no bitter memories is something I deem impossible.  In a relationship there is always one person who loves more.  There's no way around it.  Someone always gets hurt worse.  Sometimes moving on is easy, sometimes it's nearly impossible, but it is never seamless.  There is always hurt.  This poem is a reflection of a perfectly healthy attitude, there comes a time where you can get to this point.  When I wrote this poem I did feel that way but that was then, a guarantee the next day I was angry again.  It's not so easy to let go of someone you love.
