I Miss You, Toto

I Miss You, Toto

A Poem by ms. understood

I feel the most alone
In a room full of people who love me
"You'll never be happy"
You're right, mom
I probably won't
Because the one thing that made me happiest in this world was ripped away from me 
With my own hands
And now no bone in my body screams with excitement 
Nothing will ever compare to the way I felt in your presence
Truth be told
I could never commit to you
Because I knew you would be the man I would want to marry
And I was only 19 at the time
Not ready to experience something so perfect
I didn't want to be the one to ruin you 
Even though I did despite thinking I was doing the right thing
I miss you

Thanks for the support!
Been there, currently the person who did this to me is wanting me back but I’m married now, probably not to the right person but we make it work. Bad timing.

Never run from love!!
So often the case right person, wrong time, been there always on the end of someone’s breakup and understandably not ready for a new relationship.

Hind sight is 20/20, for lack of a better cliche. Yet it is those experiences that make us 'feel' most deeply that mould us.... And life goes on.

That’s a favorite of mine as well. Thanks for the support!
I get it, you know?
In a way where I don't need to see your face to know you.
I just... know.
