Stronger

Pretty simple fact, hard to state within
At the rate of life, chances subside,
I've let most of mine slip,
And now all I have left is my writing.

In it, everything that I'm feeling
Written because spoken would crush
An open letter,
And one you will never receive.

That's okay because out of it
I get to explore new thoughts of me,
Learn how to take the hard things,
Build the building blocks back up.

Grow stronger.
My heart tried to reach for you,
But it is as dim as an overused light bulb.
Hope can help.

Pieces of life we call memories
Relight it greatly.
Laughter is life's greatest medicine.
And sunshine that sings to the soul.

Look, listen and try to learn,
The ways and steps of love.
It makes me smile, our friendship.
I'm so glad I met you.

I honestly believe I'd die without the past friendship.
Losing you, my best friend,
A title I don't easily give out,
Has made me grow stronger.

Through comprehending the reasons why,
And considering the impossible future,
I haven't yet decided why, deep down,
I loosely gave it away.

Why did I loosely give you away?
The endless "I wish I would have..." conversations
Are useless because of my choices,
And that pushes me to trust myself.

Each day is a gift,
Each day is a blessing,
Each day I'm growing stronger,
And making my dreams wider.
