Literary (Submission): Keeper of my Heart

There was a moment in my life

When everything seemed perfectly alright

Though it was just a short moment

It had you in it.

In that moment, you were perfect

Up there, unreal, unreachable,

And I felt that that was why I wanted you

And that was why I got you.

In that moment, you had me too

You held onto me firmly, securely

And I figured, everyone yearns for that

That everyone wants to be wanted

In that moment, I just kind of knew

That it would be me and you

And it was all that ever mattered

It was… until it wasn’t.

You see, the moment ended

You’re not perfect

You’re not up there, or unreal, or unreachable,

And your firm, secure hold made me fell bounded.

So that was the moment in my life
the one that opened my eyes to something
the "it's not you..." line? it's true

'cause it's not your fault that I realized to late
That the keeper of my heart... can only be me
