When I think of you...
I think of the hugs we embraced,
and the kisses we shared.
The whispered vows of love.

When I think of you...
I think of your innocent gaze and charming smile.
I think of your laughter,
how I haven't heard it in awhile.
And I start to miss you...

But...

When I think of you...
I think of the times I needed you around,
and repeatedly you let me down.

When I think of you...
I think of how I became a convenience,
a companion, and not a commitment.

When I think of you...
I think of how we quarreled,
the hurtful words that were spouted,
the pools of tears that were shed.

I think of how I've never known,
how it's like to be with someone,
but feel like I'm alone.

When I think of you, I sigh...
Because this I know,
that it was right to let you go.
