i’ll always keep a part of you with me
not with sadness, but with gratitude
what we had doesn’t hurt anymore
it just reminds me i was lucky to love that deeply
the warmth of us still walks beside me
not as a shadow but as a light,
you shaped a piece of who i am
and for that, i’ll always be thankful
some loves aren’t meant to last forever
but they leave you better than before
and even though our story is done
i carry it with peace in my heart
not with sadness, but with gratitude
what we had doesn’t hurt anymore
it just reminds me i was lucky to love that deeply
the warmth of us still walks beside me
not as a shadow but as a light,
you shaped a piece of who i am
and for that, i’ll always be thankful
some loves aren’t meant to last forever
but they leave you better than before
and even though our story is done
i carry it with peace in my heart
there are days you come to mind and i can’t help but smile. we shared so many moments in that half decade, and we reached the dreams we once spoke about when we were together. you may no longer be the love of my life, but you will always hold a special place in my heart. it doesn’t ache the way it used to because i have healed. love can be tragic, love can be beautiful, and what we had was our own beautiful mess. as long as i live, i will keep praying for your happiness, and i hope wherever you are, you have found it. me, not quite there yet, but don’t worry, i am on my way.
