Rewritten Future

My life is not what I pictured it to be
Originally. I thought that I would see
Myself building a career and having
A family by now.  I would be loving
The same person for the rest of my
Life. We would grow old together
And get through the bad weather.
Instead, I am watching the world
Move on, as I am lying all curled
Up by myself. The person I could
Image myself being with would
Have never waited. He does not
Know that I love him. He brought
Back my envisioned future I have
Always wanted. He will not halve
My soul because he a person
Who is whole. He does not worsen
My pain or loneliness. He is all
Around me. He breaks my wall
Down, the one that took years
To build. He helps me face my fears.
I close my eyes and I can picture that
Future again. We are laughing at what
Used to be dark, hopeless, and dreary.
Darling, what used to keep us so teary
Eyed in doubt and sadness is bringing us
Rivers of happiness. We have sureness
And a hope for a future we wanted.
We cannot continue to be haunted
By failed relationships and mistakes
Because we live past the aches.
We cannot have that future now,
But somewhere and somehow
We will have it with kids and
With support as steady as your hand.
