Farewell Love

You said that you weren’t going anywhere. I foolishly trusted you; when I turned around you were gone.

You ran away from me, ensuring our love could never be. How can I have faith in another person who makes me feel as I never felt?

You noticed my smile had many different forms and the way my eyes glistened in the light. You took my hand as if you were gently touching my soul; I thought never to let go. Oh how I was wrong!

I was willing to fight for the love in which I believed. Be there in good times and bad no matter what life was to bring. You were not ready for the love I gave you or to confront the demons of your past. Even though I assured you I would be there to help you rest.

I moved forward trying to forget the love you mad me feel and the way your smile melted my heart. I am trying to forget the places we went, the time I spent in your arms and the sweet kisses you never forgot.

Somehow I am better off without you and the way you made me feel. I am missing out on the love we could have shared. I am missing out on having a best friend and loyal confidant to help me work out life’s complexities.

I thought I was missing you but in reality it is your loss and you are missing out on the kind of love and passion only Romance novels are written about. You are missing out on me.

So, today is a new day to realize what we had is no longer. I walk away stronger, more confidant, and rest assured true love will find me.

I now bid you farewell. I have cried my last tear, and had my last thought. You are now tucked away deep in my heart; just until the next person worthy enough opens it up again.

Goodbye Forever, First Love of Mine.
