I Actually Believed In Miracles

You were the ticking time that never stopped,

flew by so fast I didn't even realize.

You were a moment, beautiful while it lasted,

and now I can't forget it because I have you memorized.

 

You were the confused hands of a clock,

never reaching destination, kept going in circles.

I was foolish to think that I could be your destination,

because I actually believed in miracles.

 

And now I realize,

you are the time that passed,

you will never come back,

not today, not tomorrow, not ever

and it was evident that we could never be

 

And now I realize,

I was just a number on your clock,

a number that you passed by in just an hour.

One long, beautiful, precious hour.

But soon enough, I will be replaced,

by a longer, more beautiful and more precious hour.

 

But still I sit here waiting, hoping that one day, 

your hour hand will come and stop at me.

It's hopeless my mind says

but I actually believe in miracles.


The author's comments:

This is an extended metaphor poem and it is very close to my heart. I have put much thought and effort into this poem because it really means a lot to me. I would like people to read this poem and relate to it on a different level. Many people seek for some sort of closure after a bad breakup, and many times our mind tells us to move on and do the right thing but our heart isn't ready for it so we are left floating in between not knowing what to do and waiting for something or someone to give us closure.
