She is
And she isn't
okay
but she has friends
but she has hope
but she has fire
but she has spirit
she'll be okay
be will be
okay
she will
But that’s the best part
Because you are the only person who can ever fully understand all that you are going through, all that you have done to become who you are, all the work you have done and all the work you can do
It’s all you
A woman who doesn’t know what she wants
So what do you want?
Even though I was tired and spent
Even though we agreed to be through
Even though I knew I’d never get time with you
But I wrote out a list
And I decided, it’s true:
I could respect your wish
And that’s when my stomach started to twist
Because the pros outweighed the cons
New ideas and visuals started to dawn
On me
What if I held the key?
So how could I allow you to be locked inside of yourself and your thoughts
You coulds and shoulds and forget me nots
And then my calculations were through:
The only con was not having you. And we all know that was already true,
So,
I thought…
Why not,
I got what I got
And as I sat there on that bench - internally I fought
I felt like a child who’d been caught,
But I knew I had to stay
And I knew I had to speak
And even though others might say a female reaching out for a man is weak,
I know I am brave
I know I am strong
I know following your heart is not wrong
So I had to tell you my piece
Because I knew if I didn’t, I’d never have peace
And I sat there and waited for you like a beautiful brave bride
And I watched all the couples holding each other with pride,
And, to help myself stay grounded I sang, “Side by side”
And I heard Angelica say, “You will never be satisfied,”
And you took so much time, I already knew
Your mind was made up
Either way, we were through
But you listened and nodded while I talked through our relation ship and my thoughts and I poked and I prodded
And when I was finished, no one applauded,
You said you were sorry
You said you couldn’t be
You said you weren’t the one, the one for me,
You said you needed time, time which you did not have,
You said this was so difficult because its what you wanted
Because you wanted to be with me
You wanted to fall apart
And end up back in my arms
But you are a good person
But you are a strong man
But you have the will power of a NBA champ
And I wanted to call my mother
Like the time I called crying to ask her to pick me up from camp because there were spiders there,
Because there was fear,
Because I wanted to be any place, any place but here.
But I didn’t want to leave because I knew that meant you would disappear
Into your work
Into your career
Ambition isn’t always something to admire, my dear
And I tried not to cry
And I tried not to hear
How much you really wished you could be my cavalier
Because it doesn’t make any sense
No sense at all
To run away from a leaf because you fear fall
And I couldn’t stop the tears as soon as you said it
Your kindness is what got me
Your care
I swear
You handing me a handkerchief while you held me and stared
And you walked with me arm and arm down the stairs
And you just stood there and held me while I cried
And you walked me back to my car
Like the gentleman you are
Going on about how you wished you were a better person
How things just went too far
And then
One last time
I tried not to cry
Because, despite everything,
you still kissed me goodbye

I just wanted to say,
It's alright
You're okay,
You don't have to look at me that way.
Please, please, don't look at me that way.
You'll grow on your own, and I'll grow my own way.
Hey, hey,
It's alright,
I promise,
I will be okay.
