Best Wishes
by Christel CrewsTo my Exs:
My first fling, my first kiss
You didnt know what you had
When you had it! I woke up
And realized I could do better
Goodbye to you, you never called
So long, no looking back
I hope you are doing fine wherever you are
Two years of high school love I gave
You cherished me and I, you
As time moved on, it wasnt right
So I said goodbye and walked on
Im sorry if I ever hurt you,
You never did anything to deserve it
I wish you joy, success, and love
I ran from my commitment and into you
A trip to hell, suffocating and toxic
Six months of you and you let me go
I wasnt good enough
Today I still think of you and wonder
If you ever think of me, regardless
I hope you are happy, alive and well
A few years later and there you were
A friend, like a brother, it appeared
Turning sour and you couldnt breathe
Polar personality, what to expect?
Six months of back and forth
I gave up, did you hold on?
I wish you contentment and satisfaction
A bulldog society brought you to me
I couldnt breathe, you were everything
I had ever dreamed of, wanted, desired
Yet, it wasnt right so you walked away
There will always be the what ifs that
Plague my mind, but even so
I hope you are blissful, whole.
Without each of you,
I would not be who I am today
The pain and heartache; the laughter and love
I can only pray that you think of me
And only remember the good times
Learning lessons from the bad
May God keep watch and stay near to you

I wrote a lot about ex girlfriends, trying to purge myself of the past and move on with my life. Strange how much damage and how much growth occurs at the same time.
