“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory”…Dr. Seuss

How easy it is to say it’s over –

But what happens afterwards?

What happens when I wake up

To find that he’s really gone.

Like a snowflake that only stays

For a moment

Yet in my solitude I feel the lasting effects

of the us we created

I let him walk out

I wonder if it was my fault or

If it’s just the way life was meant for me –

For us.

Me, I’m still growing,

I’m still fighting to belong and I’m

Still caring and giving and loving

Just as I loved him once upon a

Lifetime ago.

But I’ve lost something too

I’ve lost him, and I lost a part of me

When he left…..and I  miss him!

Growth hurts!
