I wish you never look back

I wish you don’t think of what we could have been because the next time we meet self love will have tangled around my spine like weeds who refused to wilt when the sun refused to shine, wildflowers will populate the forest floor of my heart welcoming home the birds, the birds who will have rooted themselves in my throat and sing nothing but tenderness and warmth, wild roses growing free will adorn my cheeks no longer subject to the harsh pesticides your words once had on me. Oh I swear I will till the barren soil you left inside me and plant row after row of olive trees until I am filled to the brim of peace and you’d have to spend 100 lifetimes to uproot everything I have fought for. So the next time we meet I wish for you to just pass me by because I will have bloomed into the person I’m meant to be.
