the complicated things

the complicated things

A Poem by Olive Belikov

it's okay.
It might not feel like it; 
in fact it may even feel like
like the end of the world.
like there's a whole forming in your chest,
or a black cloud pouring over your head.
But it's okay.
truth is, he was just another boy.
just one among the millions covering this earth.
it's okay because someday,
another boy will come along 
and fill the hole right back up.
He'll turn out to be 150% better 
than the one before.
it's okay because
when you think about it,
you realize one day you'll look back
and see that you were just a girl;
and it wasn't your job to understand
all the complicated things...
about love,
about loss,
about life.
so i tell you now, as a friend,
as a girl who understands:
It's okay.
