It’s okay not to be okay

I know it's okay
to not to be okay.
But, for once,
let me be okay.

I know I'll survive
the cold night:
When harsh waves
toss over grimy sands.

But, for once,
let me thrive
in sunlit meadows
honey-scented breeze.

I know I'll get over you;
like I've done with
others before.

But, for once,
just once,
let me get through:
To you.
