To miss an old muse

Can't blame a dead muse for everything

Can't fault her for loving and moving on

After all, this was all just meant to be

But that doesn't mean she's erased from my thoughts

Can't say this is so unexpected

She's following the script in every scene

It's not like we were ever really friends either

She has no reason to desire speaking to me

Plus, I've moved on, and I've found better

Friends who like me for me

But isn't there something to say about former flames and relationships?

Her smile was brought upon by God's grace

In her own special way, she still controls me

She's still the first girl I ever wanted to hold close

So, I remind myself that was years ago now

Besides, there was a subtle message in our last conversation asking me to let go

I selfishly forgo her feelings

I selfishly pretend my close reading of her speech was fictitious

That somewhere in her mindscape I must occasionally appear

But I know whatever deal I had with destiny has outrun its time limit

She hasn't reached out

I haven't seen her walk by

I pray I never see her with her boyfriend

I pray I never have to hear her say the obvious things aloud

And of course, I hope she's happy

That she receives all she desires and more

We met by chance, and I tried for all that was warranted

We end with silence, just like the room where my infatuation was born
