The art of walking alone in a crowd
When everyone is so used to seeing you with him
The notion that you just left your best friend and maybe the one
the single triumph over the fear of being single
The emotional know how to know how
to not get emotional
( Wait I like that line so I'll say it again)
The Emotional know how to know how not to be emotional
The goodbyes that you prepared for
The same ones you used to be scared for
The day you gave back the ring
Because you realized that without trust it don't really mean
a thing
the strength to look in his eyes and have him look away
Why beacuse uncertainty is running hot in his veins
the smarts to know that he can't hurt you
Any more or less than you can hurt him
the satisfaction in knowing
you knew when to say when
the comfort in knowing that
When the dust clears and the new day dawns
It may sting a little but you still know how to move on
The brilliance in seeing that you were wise enough
to get up and walk out because he didn't know what he had
the happiness in being glad and
the never wanting to go back
Because you deserve more than that
The art of be
lonely
is no longer the feeling
Now I am
Free to express
The art of
BE

I second that piece myself..beautiful work that was skillfully layed. wonderfully done poet.

I had the notion to just write the usual piece but he gave me a reason to love single and to be honest single loves me so I'm not worried I have a lifted head i go for the gold and I like being the only one in my bed. And nothing he could ever do could change that.
