My own two feet.

Something my soul needs,
Is you being here;
Is you, lying next to me.
I might weep,
But I sure as hell
will stand on my own two feet.


And if you must leave,
Make sure he knows who you are.
Make sure he can see.

I like this sense of moving on and yet the struggle to let go so clearly depicted in this poem. Thanks for sharing John
