POEM|I Thought It Was You

POEM|I Thought It Was You

I thought it was you
I became we
A
nd I was done looking

I thought we’ll be forever
We supported each other
A
nd talked about our dreams

I thought you were the one for me
We were perfect
A
nd shared everything

I thought it was you
We had plans
A
nd talked about our kids

I thought we stuck like glue
We knew each other
A
nd made others jealous

I thought it was love
We were best friends
And completed each other

I thought it was you
We were a solid rock
A
nd nothing could break us

I thought we were real
We cried together
A
nd had fun together

I thought it was you
But you broke my heart
A
nd we stopped existing

  1. Amazing! Bittersweet! I think you might just be the queen of “Woody Nightshade” writings and you verses are awesome!

  2. This is AMAZING. I love your posts. when i read them, they sound like they could have some Afro Soul/ Jazz soundtrack to them.

    1. Thank you. Maybe some day I’d get to read them out loud with the soundtrack😀.
