I Get It Now

I get it now,
that you needed more than my words
to keep you warm at night -
that a few weeks of memories
over that sweet summer
weren't going to last forever,
despite my wishing it so.
And I realize,
what a fool I made of myself
to believe you would hold on
with so little effort on my part-
and of you, as you waited patiently
for me to let you down.
Even if hurting you
was the last thing I ever thought I'd do,
I did - like nobody else ever could-
because you never expected it of me,
You buried my weaknesses,
but they resurfaced in me without you.
I get it now -
that our love was not an illusion,
but a lesson in barely leaving
a lesson in almost letting go,
hanging on just enough-
that it crushes me to imagine
a new head in the crook of your arm,
a new love in the cracks of your heart.

You say you rarely wite things that don't rhyme..
I think you may have broadened your proverbial horizons..
save for the fact that it was a bit sad..
it was just as eloquent..
5 stars from me-
I enjoyed it very much

I like this, Juliette... it has a rhythm to it that eliminates the need for rhyme really. I'd encourage you to continue writing without rhyme when it strikes you to do so --- you've done well here.
