Christmas Party

Had a work Christmas party last night and things happened. I wrote this when I got home. Just a little something.

Last night I was finally set free,

I’ve come to be at peace between you and me.

I admit I was surprised at first,

When you walked in with him, my heart kind of burst.

There was a small part of me still confused,

The rest of me was aware but this part now knew.

I hope I didn’t act like I was bothered by this,

I worry I tried too hard to be normal, was it obvious?

I didn’t know how to react or what to say,

I was got off guard in an unusual way.

I tell people I am over you, well 95%,

But there is the matter of that small little 5%.

The small amount that still held out for hope,

The part of me that I wanted to choke.

It was in this part where my emotions were misguided

Thoughts and feelings for you clearly unfounded 

Don’t get me wrong I am happy for you and him,

But that part of me wasn’t ready to see you with him.

I feel better, now that I finally see,

I can officially move on from thoughts of you and me.

It will make being your friend, way easier for me in the end,

Because that’s what’s important that I have you for a friend.

Relationships may come and go, but I’ll be your friend forever,

Because being around you is the best, I always feel clever.

Inspiration strikes when you are around,

You’ve got a friend in me, yeah I like that sound.

that 5% really is what brings me to tears. to know that it is a battle to hold out hope even when you kind of already know there is no use. What a great way to put it. I only hope a friendship can be found when it gets to that point. For right now it is only too soon to tell. Thank you for sharing this. I was not expecting tears one bit! You have a way with your words

I am sorry I brought tears to you. I am glad however that it brought on emotion. That makes me happy to know my writing can make people feel. Thank you for the kind words and the review!

It was a good thing. It was just I could relate to it so closely that I couldn't help it. You did a great job

That 5 percent twinge that sometimes takes forever to go away...
You describe it well and as with all your stuff excellent rhyme.
