Why I want you to see how I am doing without you.

A poem to your ex.

By happychoice by nataliePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Maybe there is always gonna be

the thought

that I want you to see

how successful I am without you.

But maybe that is

because there is always gonna be something.

Not a something of love.

Not a something of regret.

Not a something of wanting you back.

But a something of

you never even knew who you had next to you.

A something of

you didn‘t even see who was standing right next to you.

Maybe that‘s why I want you to see.

Maybe because I didn‘t even see.

But now I do.

And that is why I want you to see.
