Not A Loss

They say, "it's your loss,"

Like love's a game of  keeping scores,

But you were never mine to win or lose.

We were chapters in a book we couldn't finish,

Word we needed to speak,

But not forever.


You came into my life

Like a season changing,

A soft spring rain, tearching me

To bloom before the storm.

I learned the gentle art of letting go

In the arms of someone who held me, 

Even if just for a while.


It's not a loss—

It's a lesson,

And I'm grateful you taught it

With warmth in your heart.

Not everyone's hands are so kind.


I don't regret our time

I want you to rise, to fly high,

To meet someone who makes your heart

Beat louder than mine ever could.

There's no bitterness, no envy—

Only hope, that you find what you need,

As I will find what's better for me.


Not someone better,

But someone who fits

The shape of my soul,

Just as I hope

You do the same.
