That Feel

I will greet that feeling as an old friend,

I remember feeling that way before.

If I know that this feeling once did end

then I know that I will not long be sore.

But still I can sometimes cling to pain

to remind me that all that's passed was real.

Hoping that the positives will remain

I still try to salvage that special feel.

But deep down I know it will be a while

before I  meet that friend; that feeling,

and even if someone can make me smile

it won't be my heart that they are stealing.

And one day I may decide to let go

in the hope my very old friend will show.
