Why are you so sad,
For a man that let you go,
So easily,
So simply.
A man that said,
“We will never get this right…”
And left with no other reasons.
Why do you mourn him?
Because I loved him
In all the ways he thought
He shouldn’t be loved.
I loved him in ways he will realize too late,
If ever at all.
But, I do not miss him.
I miss the way I allowed myself to love him.
I miss the way I fought for him.
It makes me sad to love him.
But only because he will never realize
The ways in which I did.

Why are you so sad,
For a man that let you go,
So easily,
So simply.
A man that said,
“We will never get this right…”
And left with no other reasons.
Why do you mourn him?
Because I loved him
In all the ways he thought
He shouldn’t be loved.
I loved him in ways he will realize too late,
If ever at all.
But, I do not miss him.
I miss the way I allowed myself to love him.
I miss the way I fought for him.
It makes me sad to love him.
But only because he will never realize
The ways in which I did.
