Breaking up to make up is a good thing.
Let me explain myself.
The person who made me happy
The person who made my smile lines bad
The person who held me, kissed my forehead, and made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world...shattered my heart
I'd like to fill ya ears with beautiful metaphors and melodic language and rhyme schemes that would make Emily inson blush. Imagery that would make even the best poets jealous and clap their hands...but I can't and will not.
I refuse.
Break-Ups are not beautiful
They are ugly, hideous blips on the beautiful, successful lives each of us is striving to achieve.
Break-Ups are snotty noses, dark rooms and heavy hearts.
Break-Ups are yearning for a person that God doesn't want you to have...when He says, "Not Now" instead of Yes.
Break-Ups are standing at a public Metro Station, tears streaming down your face, because you're not okay...and that's okay.
Break-Ups are watching your phone, waiting for a text that you're sure will never come
Break-Ups are struggling not to pick up the phone...because you think that person is better off without you
Why was I not enough
Why was it not time for my happy ending?
But after every storm comes a rainbow, and time shifts and...then comes the make up.
Not make up with them, but to make up with myself.
SO
I took myself out
Myself needed to heal
I needed to learn how to love and enjoy myself
My makeup allowed me to fall in love with someone else. A charming, and alluring woman. She walked with her head up, she had a blazing glow in her eye, and a stride that demanded attention. She was gentle, but unyielding in her quest for happiness. She was me. She taught me that my world should not revolve around my significant other rather the two universes comfortably interconnect and become brighter and stronger as a result. An awakening attraction that benefits the two worlds and pulls them closer together.
This little poem wasn't full of metaphors and ...a bunch of lines that you must read twice to understand. Figurative languages and beautiful scenes that are meant to so-called inspire.
Because that ain't what break-ups are.
They are learning experiences that allow you to brighten yourself so that when that universe comes around...or back around for some of us, we know that all of our happiness doesn't reside in anyone's universe, but our own.
Make-up with yourself...and fall in love while doing it.
