"Life isn't about the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breaths away."


Remember the time when we were so strong
More than a pair, together as one
I thought our love was real, I now believe I was truly wrong.

We used to spend most nights cuddling underneath the stars
The weight of the world rested upon any one else's shoulders but our own
And now all I have left to remember you by are these heartbreaking emotional scars.

You used to look me in the eye, hold me close and swear our love was true
But honey even though you lied, broke me down, and you ripped my heart into peices
You've opened my eyes, and showed me a whole new world beyond making you happy; all I can say is thank you.

I always believed I knew who you truly were; caring, respectful, beautiful and real
I only saw the side you wanted to show me for your own horrible shelfish reasons
You took away my trust, my innocence and sat back and watched; from that I don't know how to feel.

There were good times don't get me wrong, I can't full-heartily say I regret anything at all
Because you've taught me a main lesson in life that is to truly never trust another person again but myself
I suppose I can say you cared a little, you were there.....but you ended close to four years through a phone call.

I always thought laying in bed cuddling with you while watching movies and napping was the best thing in life
I made you happy before myself, I did more for you than any girl on this planet would ever think about doing
Things weren't meant and I clearly see that because you don't destroy the people you "love" by stabbing them in the back with a knife.

This poem is mainly nothing more than my goodbye toast to you and I; all the good and even every little fight.
You're nothing more to me than a memory in the wind now and for the rest of my life that's all you'll ever be.
But, hey, smile……..I mean at least you know that I still care enough to write.


The author's comments:
I wrote this after getting out of a three and a half year relationship with my ex. Turned out in the end everything I believed in, wasn't the truth. This poem was more for letting go, I could say. I know I felt a lot better once I was finished with it. I think when people break up they should take another look at the memories shared, don't remember the ending, remember the good and the bad. It may have ended in a horrible way, but that person did make you happy at one point in your life.
