Saturday Morning Special

It's Not What You Think

by Alex Mobley

It's back

that feeling I have missed

too many years gone by

but here it is again

smiling from ear to ear

laughter all the time

nothing quite competes

with that special saying

sing it from the rooftops

or whisper it to them

no matter how it comes out

make sure they can hear

not everyone gets this chance

once in a lifetime if at all

never be afraid to wonder

about the reciprocation

feel this in your heart

slightly in your mind

lead with what feels right

try to stay composed

don't just let it out

stumbling to the punch

gather yourself 

and say what you mean

I Love You, is not it

for that would be too easy

a story old as time

this is my own life

what needs to be said is...

this relationship is over

not because of failure

but simple change of sight

so why am I so happy

I've broken out of nowhere

come back to my jolly self

less stress, anger, and hate

it just wasn't working out

like many of them do

but this time I ended it

which means I feel great
