There Is A Time Poem by Jazmin OK...

There is a time.
When it’s quiet
When my mind traces back
In the dead of night.
Is that me? Was that me?
Why me?
Why the change? Why did everything have to change?
But despite the imperfection
I know
I couldn’t have it anyway else.
Who knows what I would be without you?
Who knows what I would be if I hadn’t lost you?
I would still not understand
The grief
The sorrow
Like everyone else who has not felt the pain
Of losing someone.

I would be weaker
For what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Like my first heartbreak
When I felt unwanted
Forgotten
I gave all I had
I trusted you
I was wrong.
But I’m stronger now
Taller now
And I know it’s better to have loved
Than to have never loved at all.

Maybe I’m always in that time
When my soul yearns for you
And everything I have lost
But still have.
Everything that’s still there
If I look closely
If I search
If I reach up and feel the wind
And feel you above
Within.
