Here we are

8/11/2023

To love and be love is the greatest,

Not many talk about love lost,

Supposedly it’s better,

Tell that to a heart freshly broken.

The love I lost was a fire in my soul,

You warmed me to my core,

I saw a future I never did before,

It felt so real and alive.

Much too late I learned,

That your love burned me down,

It built up walls,

That you never intended to tear down.

Our love is in the past,

Now always apart,

The pain still lingers but,

Memories have turned to nostalgia.

I didn’t know if this would happen,

There was so much silence,

The time has finally come,

To heal our shared wounds.

Slowly we bridge the gap,

Letting go of the hurt and pain,

Remembering the good times,

The friendship we had.

I’ve wanted nothing but happiness for you,

I want you to heal and grow,

Find your strength,

Let all your hurt go.

Maybe soon there can be friendship again,

One day we’ll appreciate each other once more,

For now, memes and texting are fine,

For our journey is coming back around.
