I'm Okay
April 7, 2010
With your absence I'm okay
You may not believe me
But it's the truth
I find I don't think about
Your eyes
Your lips
Your hair and how it flips
The way you walk
The way you talk
The feeling of my hand in yours
I thought I would break
But I'm truly okay
I smile more
I laugh more
Now that these chains can break
I'm free at last
From your
Foul mouth
Obscene words
Rude remarks
Lies
And false hopes
I'm free from falling down
With you
And for once I can actually say
I'm telling the truth
