Mixed Signals

I can’t stop smiling.



I’m restless,

aching for more.



I’m so happy

not because

I’m feeling validated,



but because

I’m finally

beginning to love myself.



I don’t feel

so broken

anymore.



I can feel You

fixing me,

mending my heart,

repairing

my shattered ego.



But is this right?



I thought I heard

Your voice

telling me it wasn’t.



You said You would

be strong for me,

but, in my weakness,

I ignored You.



But maybe

I misunderstood;

maybe you approved

but wanted me

to be careful...



careful I wouldn’t

make the same mistakes

just to feel lovable.



Everything is

falling into place

since I let my life

revolve around You.



I can’t help but tear up

from the beauty of it all,

the beauty of

Your perfect love

that is letting me

open my heart again.



I can't stop smiling

knowing You are up there

smiling over me.
