You Don’t Have To Worry


you don’t have to worry
I won’t love you anymore
besides…
it was just something
my mind made up
in my heart

I can tell it to stop

and go on daily
as I did before
being the champion
of smaller things
surrendering to the hope
of something different

I have readjusted before
to find some reasoning
in other possibilities
instead of…

believing in something
that the world overlooked
and never viewed as
beautiful as it was

unconditionally I have
stood silently by
waiting for my moment
to be recognized

just to feel the sting
of disappointment
for something
I thought so right

so, you don’t have to worry
I won’t love you
anymore

Karilea beat me to it, but

it was just something
my mind made up
in my heart

I can tell it to stop



made me smile in recognition~~

You will....as this beautifully written poem says...continue to love.

Those things remain, though they can get to hurt less....eventually....I hope....

the heart and mind don't usually work together...it's the infamous battle...the phrase "like oil and water"
