One day I will have moved on
And that I'm no longer left confused
With unresolved questions
One day I will look up and realise
That I don't hurt or mourn
For something that once was
One day I will remember memories
Even if they are tainted with sadness
I will smile
One day I will see again
The perfection I shared with you
And the joy we both had together
But until then
I look up
And I thank you
For some stars shine swiftly
And burn out in their intensity
And even as I cry over it still
I am learning to appreciate the light it once gave me

(AN: In August I fell for someone who was fun and always smiled. I took the chance in September to tell them my feelings. I was very sweetly turned down, and while it didn't go the way I wanted, I do not regret it at all.
The feelings he stirred while we interacted are things I cherish. We drifted apart after that and I never quite understood why. Perhaps you didn't want to deal with any possible awkwardness? I'm not sure. One day (as this poem suggests) I'll get over it.
You continue to be an inspiration to me - but more than that, you are dear to my heart as a friend. Thank you for the short period of companionship that we shared. I hope I see you again some day so we can share smiles once more. I miss yours.
Until then, thank you for the brief period of happiness you brought to my life.
Also, I am quite aware that I've been through the whole month of October without writing poetry. I went through a period of stagnation, plus I had a rehearsal for a show coming up in early October. November has started now - and with it, NaNoWriMo - and exams are now going. Tl;dr I have things coming up which will undoubtedly draw my attention away from this poetry but I do intend to post, however sporadically, as time goes on.)
