One Day

By Austin B. Hahn

One day, you’ll wake up next to her with three kids under your roof and think of me

One day, you’ll see my face somewhere you would least expect

One day, you’ll realize you gave up a whole lifetime to appease six-month acquaintances

One day, life will count the wrinkles on your face as the number of missed opportunities when you could have been happy with me instead

One day, you’ll wish you had given yourself the freedom to be who you are
