I Met Someone. And That Someone Left.
An Unconventional Love Poem/Essay
I met someone, he makes me smile, he makes me laugh.
I met someone who makes me feel like I can forget about the pain.
I met someone who I can finally open up to.
He makes me realise the romance behind the tragedies.
I met someone who takes me out to fancy restaurants and shows me off, he makes me feel like a star.
I met someone I can bring home, the type of person I can watch mafia films and Fast and Furious with.
I met someone who allows me to speak my mind, to explore my options and contemplate everything I think and feel.
Someone who won’t judge me. Someone who is willing to give me advice and listen to every word I say.
They’re the first person I call, text and think about every day and every night.
I met someone who I can make love to, the type of person who doesn’t judge me for the rolls on my stop or the lumps and scars on my body.
I met someone who makes love to me without ulterior motives.
He makes me feel beautiful even when I take off the clothes, the makeup and let my hair down.
I met someone who made me realise the type of love I’m deserving of.
I met someone who’ve I’ve fallen in love with. I’ve met the person I may want to marry, go house hunting with and have children with. The type of person I wanna take with me to my home away from home.
The type of person who’s become a home to me.
Especially when I had no home.
I met someone who’s made me believe in love again.
But the someone I met is different from the someone who has just left.
The someone that left is unhappy, confused and knows we should go our separate ways.
The someone that left has left me confused, angry, cautious and anxious.
The someone that left has lied, he’s not over the pain in the past and what the future may hold.
The someone that left made me realise that I need to open up more to my lovers.
The someone that left had once filled an empty space in my soul has left it open again.
That someone has made me realise that only I can fill that space.
I wish this someone nothing but happiness, but they gave me a lifetime of happiness within a matter of months.
I wish this person the life they deserve.
