Today’s just one of those days
When I wanna give you a hug
I’m not crying the hours away
Or pining after lost love

I just wish that I could find
Someone to hold onto
Just to smile for a while
And babe, I wish it were you

But I wont cry or
Beg you to take me back
I might still adore you
But I’m so over that

Still…

Today’s just one of those days
When I wanna hold your hand
Not get back together with misery
Just maybe take a walk in the sand

I’m gonna keep on hoping
To find someone to love me
To be as perfect as what you
Always seemed to be

But I wont fall to the ground
No you can’t break my stride
I’m finished with all those tears
Can’t believe how many I cried

Still…

Today’s just one of those days
Where I hope for the longing to die
Today’s just one of those days
Where I wish it hadn’t all been a lie

Wow... I loved the emotions in this poem! How the poem kind of contradicts itself, over you moving on yet still longing for that person? It's kind of confusing for me to explain...

It was a very enjoyable poem for me to read; you are a very good writer and I can't wait to see more of your posts

Thanks for sharing!

I think anyone who has been through the 'letting go' stage of a relationship can relate.  The rhyme complements the wavering mentioned in the above comments.  Rhyming on most 2 and 4s  but broken up enough be 1 and 3s  , going right along with the Still.  At first I thought I would come out of it feeling like - oh no, another love poem - but there is something there that in simple words tells the situation perfectly.  Thanks!
