A Catalyst For Change

Time Well Spent

Sometimes I feel

I wasted my time

loving you

*

Then I remember

what is true

*

You needed to know

the nature of real love

That was my gift to you

*

I needed to remember

my priceless value

something I misplaced

with the one before you

*

Someone

who broke my spirit

Set me up to settle

for one sided love

for his own benefit

*

Leading me to find

someone like you

Who only could

accept one sided love

to avoid facing himself

*

Loving you

wasn't a waste

It was a catalyst

for change

*

It was time well spent

*

Offering you something real

that you never truly felt

*

Your rejection offered me

an opportunity

to reclaim my value

and never again

settle for anything less

than what I'm offering

love poems
