You once made me feel as if I were the most important
person in your life.
When we broke up and you refused to speak to me,
it cut me like a knife.

Although you were the only man who ever treated
me like a queen,
Circumstances somewhere along the way changed
and were not what they seemed.

When we split up, I swore that I would never
come back around.
I said that I would not be like the other exes that
you had scattered throughout town.

However, as I get older, I realize that true love
can come in many different forms.
What else could explain this affection
after all of these years and all of life’s storms?

I know that we will never live together
as husband and wife,
Still, my heart would break all the same
if you ceased to be in my life.

You have been a constant in my life;
I feel safe because I know you are there.
You are my beacon of light and my rock
through any darkness or despair.

I am so grateful to God for blessing you
with such a big heart
I am glad that you are so compassionate,
caring, considerate and smart.

This poem is to express my feelings to you
for all that I cannot say.
You are more important to me than you could possibly know
and I will love you until my dying day.
