Acceptance

I never quite got over you,
this much was obvious to everyone.
I kept waiting for the day when something would change;
when your face wouldn't pop up when I heard our song,
or maybe I wouldn't feel anything when your name tumbled
from someone's lips.
I kept waiting patiently for that sign that said,
Hey... I'm done.

It never came.

Then I realized it's not coming, not anytime soon.
Sometimes, you have to buck up and just accept
that you'll never get that piece of your heart back.
Perhaps, I'm doomed to always see your face in that familiar tune
and maybe your memory is stuck in my blood
an inactive virus I'm never certain won't cause another outbreak
and ya know... that's okay too.
