Pretty Flower Necklace I Wear... Poem by Allysyn Bryant

You say do what makes you happy
With all the ups and downs I’ve had these past days
I don’t even know what this is anymore
There was a guy that I’ve been talking to
Someone that I’d normally be crazy about
But I’m not. Should be but not
Told him today that nothing could happen
Say to just move on and find someone else
He wasn’t happy. I almost felt bad
Until I, unknowingly, held on
To this necklace around my neck
Small, simple, and beautiful
Given to me by…you
Everyday I wear this necklace
This pretty flower necklace of mine
I always keep it close
Knowing that one day, one sad day
You’re not gonna be there
The thought isn’t pleasant but I won’t cry
Not when I’m not there to call you mine
