Seasons change and people too
But I believe that some feelings don't
The clock keeps on ticking and people come and go
But our longing for them just continues to grow.
We may forget some of yesterday's memories
But those that we wove with that special someone
Would remain, and may even haunt us
That we couldn't help but look back on what was.
I miss your smiles, those bedimpled cheeks
And the way your knowing eyes would look me over
I miss all the laughter, and even our silly fights
And the kiss-and-make-up that is sure to come later.
I sorely miss the way you always inspire me
Those words and acts of love that you share
But most of all I miss being with you
And being enveloped in your sweet and tender care.
I remember all these, and painfully, more
For I also remember the day we parted ways
I remember saying goodbye for I thought it was best
Turning a deaf ear to the pleas you expressed.
Until now, I don't know why or how we drifted apart
And I have stopped trying to analyze everything
All I know is that somewhere, somehow, we changed
That what used to be two sides of a coin became estranged.
Things happen for a reason, so they always say
And maybe, ours is to learn to lose ourselves to an US
Because admit it, when we were together we seldom compromise
Self-absorbed and stubborn, to our own self each one relies.
I still believe that what happened is for the best
And though I still sometimes miss you, I can smile
Knowing that you and I have grown individually
In ways that our being together did not allow us to be.
Wherever you are, my love, I hope you now know
That sometimes the greater proof of love is in letting go
May love teach us to truly love in ways we failed the other
That we may become braver, wiser and better.
