A year ago
yesterday
you were coming to
change my life
on your white horse
only you didn''t show
lame excuse
yellow lack of courage.
Still I tried to get you
on that damned horse
but it kept turning
into an ass
and so did you
until finally you slipped
my grasp
and set me free.
Thanks for nothing.
It was the best gift
you could have given me.

Sometimes the best gift someone can give us is to walk away. It always hurts. What we want and what we need can be very different. Being a romantic I really did try to create knights in shining armor out of those who were not anything of the sort. Looking back I realize that my expectations got in the way more than a few times. It is much easier to expect another to be our hero than to own our own dreams. If only that person had been my knight, perhaps I needed to be my own knight, or maybe I never needed a knight in the first place. What is a knight anyway?
