Listening to You

I want to listen as you tell me how he broke your heart.
I want to know that you have already moved on while
Becoming a person who is better, wiser and stronger
Than she used to be. I just wanted to hear you laugh
When you used to break down and cry, having a start
Away from the noise all around as I listen to the smile
Within your voice because you, darling, are no longer
Talking or thinking about him again. You are not half
To the woman you used to be because even without
Him you are whole, human and do not have a doubt.
