one day

one day, you will be married
to a girl who looks like me
one day, I will be in love
to a man who is his own person

one day, you will see her auburn hair
as you recollect my own
one day, I will love.
someone that has no analogy

one day, you will realize
a girl cannot fully replace grace, kindness, and elegance
one day, I will thank you for leaving me
even though life sunk below the deepest bowes

one day, you will see I'm happy
while you try to fill a deep void of resentment

but today is not that day
but one day, I will feel the feelings I write
and I will thank you for showing me what I deserve
