They say “Everything happens for a reason”
To this, my heart convicts me like I’ve committed treason;
But I guess I understand why it acts as such
I caused it to lose what it loved so much.

I look back and smile,
Every time I think about how we met;
It was like we knew each other way before that,
We complimented each other in every department;
I had my type in abundance and in every assortment,
But I fell for you because you were different.

I made you laugh, I made you smile
You made me feel love for the first time;
You were my Queen, I was your King
We shared some magical times,
Together, forever was the mission in life.

Worked out for a few years but we grew apart
We took some strain, a lot of pain and we had to break-up,
I look back, at some stage were inseparable to part.

Much can be said of what went wrong
Who wronged who, who lied to whom,
Who cheated on whom and on and on?
But that doesn’t save me from the guilt trip I’m on,
That I had something to do with us not getting along

The last stanza might give me away,
Thinking about it, this whole poem has anyway.
If I could I would but something tells me I shouldn’t,
I have a feeling that to you this exercise is pointless,
That you moved on to a life that is far more painless.

I shouldn’t do this to you but you must understand,
That to have loved and lost you is making me sad,
With that being said,
I’m glad you now know where I stand.
