just the girlfriend

i've been there for you 10 plus years
i've fought for you
and fought with you
i've stood by you
i've wiped away tears
and eased sorrows
i've pitied your pain
and kept your secrets
i've tolerated the flaws
and understood the insecurities
i've put you first
and considered your feelings in every thought
i've paused my dreams
even the mere mind flutters
i've forgiven the indiscretions
and bandaged my wounds
and yet i am still just the girlfriend
i've loved
i've cried
i've laughed
i've lied
i've changed
i've grown
i've rejoiced
all with you
yet i am no more than just the girlfriend
no ring
no commitment
no pledge of undying love
no bond
just the girlfriend
the understanding girlfriend
so why do i stay
why have i declined the opportunities to walk away
because i'd rather be just the girlfriend than nothing at all...
To Be Continued...

Update: I am now the Wife!

We know people can leave us at any moment. We do know...we just forget...

For Once...

For once, I would like to look temptation in her eyes and say "I've defeated you".   For once, just once, at the end of the day, I would like to exhale and know I stayed strong . For once, I would like to stand on the edge of the cliff, look over, and not leap. For once, I would like to embrace my inner win . For once, I don't want to end my day with regret. For once, I want to reach the finish line. For once, I want to see to the end of the test. For once, I want to succeed. For once, I want to think it, see it, then accomplish it. For once, I want to say 'I use to'. For once, I want to 'remember when'. For once, I'd like to reflect back on who I was...and see the difference in who I am   For once, I don't want to wish or hope or wonder , For once, I just want to be .
