untitled 1

I never showed it 

but you made it clear 

I am stronger than you ever will be 

but I wasn’t on that January evening

sitting in my car with tear soaked cheeks 

I made the decision, formally 

but you had it in mind, I’m sure. 

it came in quiet whispers. 

you knew, I knew. 

we were only waiting, 

waiting patiently, 

patiently, we always were patient

waiting for the tides to come back low.
