I know now
You did love me,
You just had a different way of showing it,
Through gifts and acts of service
That didn’t speak to me.
I know now
You did love me,
But we were different people
Triggering each other
From our past histories, hurt and pain.
I know now
You did love me,
In spite of your atrocious behaviour,
But we were two different people
With different values and expectations.
I know now
You did love me,
And it’s tragic
We couldn’t make it work,
But enough of the arguments, control
And lack of trust -
A cornerstone of all relationships.
I know now
You did love me,
And I wish you well
And truly hope you can overcome your demons and challenges,
And find the right person
Who loves you
For you deserve happiness.
I know now
You did love me.
And I loved you.

And truly hope you can overcome your demons and challenges,
And find the right person

For you deserve happiness.
I know now
You did love me.
And I loved you.
