The One

The One

A Poem by Tammy Hatfield

I am the one sitting patiently waiting for your call.
I am the one wondering if I should be jealous of all the women on your Facebook page.
I am the one who is understanding when you "gotta take this call".
Today I am the one who isn't waiting anymore.
I am taking charge of my own happiness.
I will be "the one that got away".

I'm sure many people have had been in this situation. I wonder how many had the courage to take positive action?
