THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.

I was never really good at writing a poetry, so this one took a little time.

The words were created so that I could write about your smile,

So that I could express, how you made me feel for that little while.

Love, that’s what I hope, and that’s what I ask from above.

You see me sitting and you see my eyes water.

The only thing I thought of, is that I lost my Mr.Right

but its okay because i found myself, and when the times right I will see you again from the right sight.

You were afraid of hurting people who were impossible to replace, but I guess that was not the problem in this case.

Its okay, I understand, you found someone better who lets you be whoever you can. But rewind and see at time did I stop you from becoming the best.

Today I lost you butIi guess it okay because now you’re off duty and I won’t force you to stay.

Im not sad about it, or maybe a little but I guess that okay because I won’t go around and littler. Litter with the pages you gave, because I think that they should stay.

Having good memories will take me back to that place, where you said “I love you, forever and always”

I think you did mean it but the time was wrong, you were in love with the idea of having a perfect sunrise and not a bad storm.

I think i’ll live with that feeling for just a little while long because even when you are gone, I will be surrounded with all the flaws.
