good job

tucked away 
deep inside 
is the bit of anger
the bit of sadness 
for indecision 
for letting the best thing 
that ever happened to you 
walk away 

hearts don’t reason with excuses 
justified wisdom 
they just feel…
and this weakness lies beneath 
a surface 
of smiles 
and platitudes 

and above is courage 
to face someone who wants
to give reasons to make her smile 
and trust their confidence 
and openness 
and hope 
that it all works out 
for the best 

at a time when she’s done
with the wanting
