In the Event that the Sky Falls

I close my eyes and think of you
It makes me smile now when I do
Maybe someday our paths will cross again
But I'm not gonna sit around til then
I'm gonna live and laugh, and give and get
Cause life's too short to live with regrets
And much too long to live for the past
Holding on to the things that didn't last
Maybe I'll love you forever, maybe I won't
Maybe we get back together in the future, maybe we don't
Either way you were a beautiful moment in my life
That I would never wish to erase or rewrite
But this poem is not about you though, it's about me
Cause with or without you, I'll always be free
And I'll always be me, the girl that writes good poetry and knows it all too well
That survived the landing all the times that she fells
That puts in all her soul, all her heart that's now broken
That knows the next move but still leaves herself open
She's got a new kinda groove
But with some old fashioned views
Her fingers snap to that jazz and r&b
Hips sway to that merengue y bachata beat
Head nods along to rock
But with a heart that beats only for hip-hop
She believes in signs from god and atonement
And that life is really just one long awkward moment
She's good with words
A self-proclaimed nerd
A shopaholic with a budget
Sometimes you just gotta say fudge it
Cause life's hard enough without looking for drama
And Ima always be me so just do what you wanna
Flawed, but I play it off well
Remember you said you couldn't tell?
Or something like that, but I guess now that you see
So now I'm looking for love, but this time I'll find it in me
And things are gonna go wrong
But my heart will only grow strong
Cause this poetry started from a broken heart that I received when I was eleven
So in the event that the sky falls, don't worry we'll just be closer to heaven
