Poem #2: Happy With Me

Because...
Because I left too soon
Because I lived my life below the moon
Because I gave the wrong answer
Because I thought I could go just a little bit faster
Because I turned my back on the wrong crowd
Because I should have said that aloud
Because I gave you every reason
Because I was born in the busiest season

Because I started off in a baron location
Because I wore that outfit to your celebration
Because I decided to live, half an hour too late
Because I confessed my love on our very first date
Because it made me feel so in control
Because I never had the nerve to let go
Because I'm half the woman I could've been
Because I'm twice the man you'll ever be

Because I negotiated gravity with JD in my hand
Because puking in your handbag was actually planned
Because I loved you wrecklessly
Because I never wanted you physically
Because I thought you'd understand
Because this thing of ours was always damned
Because I'm still so far from perfect
Because someday I might be worth it
Because I was always first to come
Because I like to leave so much undone

Because this life could be a thing of beauty
Because I'll never know what could be
Because theres so much work to be done
Because by now you should see
Because I'll never be happy with you, until I'm happy with me
