We're 23 now.
It's been 5 years
And I'm married
And you're in love.
The pain hasn't faded.
Nor has the love.
For me, at least.
I think of you often.
And wish you well.
But I hope you know.
That I would have done
Anything
To be with you.
And that I'm so grateful
You let me go.
Because, despite the pain
And the love,
I am happy now
And I know I am loved by him.
