I thought of you tonight....
A fleeting thought that turned into a series
of retrospective emotions.
Sometimes I really miss you....
When I'm in a pensive mood,
or held captive by my thoughts.
Did you really let me go?
Was I the only one in love?
Did I mean anything to you at all?
These questions burn into my soul.
Do I ever run through the fields of your mind?
Or do you find me in your dreams?
Is regret something you live with now?
Even though I let you go,
because that was your choice.
Even though you never believed in us...
Still I wonder what might have been,
had we chosen to let our hearts run free.
Were we ever meant to be?
Or just to feel what happens...
when two souls collide?
In the aftermath of unrequited love...
I've calmed the storms of hurt.
The pain is all but gone.
So thank you for the laughter,
and thank you for the smiles.
Thank you for the rush of emotions,
you always seemed to make me feel.
I loved your eyes, your smile, your touch, and kiss.
I loved your wit and simple charm.
Your tender words sank deep into my soul,
leaving me quite changed...transformed.
I cherish those few precious moments we shared...
and I'm sure I'll never love that way again.
I pray you've found complete joy,
real life fulfilled, your heart's desires.
I wish you peace, life, love, laughter...
all these things and so much more.
You'll always be the one who set my soul ablaze...
But if you couldn't love me completely,
you loved me enough to say goodbye.
I respect and admire you for that decision.
Thank you for the courage and the love it took,
to wound me, so you wouldn't hurt me more later.
I've moved on....my life is full....
But on nights like tonight,
I confess to you ....I still miss you,
and I'm sure I always will.
Love,
Me
