To those I loved and lost.

They say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

Love comes in different shapes and sizes
Sometimes our love for someone is BIG and sometimes it's small
Sometimes we love forever and sometimes we don't love at all

I often love and lose
whether through life or death
unfortunately, I never get to choose
but when I love, I love with every breath
I have odd ways of showing my love
like hurting you to keep you safe from my demons
whether I push or shove
or I yell or ignore
Those who understand know to never keep score
they know I already am.

I have never encountered a love I have had to regret
I have many loves and lessons I would never forget
My first love's name started with an F
and I have lost three special ladies to death

I had a wonderful best friend
A friend who gave her time and love to me
Never complaining and always free
She was there in the scarriest part of my life
But I pushed her away when I knew I wouldn't stay
I made her out the villian
Ending up causing her more pain
From that there was nothing to gain
I regret hurting her but never regret keeping her away from my life.

I have had a sibling kind of love for a young girl who I saw a great future for,
instead she lied and has hurt me, 
making my heart shatter and crumble to the floor 
never to fully recover.
Yet I don't regret a single moment of it.

My first real love was crazy
we were happy, yet never satisfied
our time together quite hazy
endless tears for him I have cried
Yet I regret not a single whisper of love.

Sometimes 

we fall in love

sometimes

 we love so abundantly without noticing 

sometimes 

we fall so hard we can't get up

sometimes 

we have a bond that can't be broken

sometimes

we lose them

sometimes

they leave you

sometimes

you leave them

Always 

always love as much as you can

always

enjoy and appreciate the time you have with them

always

notice them for who they truly are

always

always remember the lessons you learned

But . . . 

Never

not ever forget the special ones

because just like me, you will find yourself longing for them and wishing you could turn back time.


This is to those I have loved and lost whether to life or death.

You are in my heart. Forever.
