When we were together,
The times were mostly happy
We'd smile and kiss and laugh
If only while it lasted.
But I remember four times
Where I cried in front of you
You held me every time
And three times it helped.

The first time I cried
Was before we were an us.
You brought us together
To bring me back whole.

The second time I cried
Was because of what I'd done
I'd caused disappointment 
But you made me feel loved.

The third time I cried
It had upset my mom again
And despite all my tears
You called me beautiful.

The last time I cried
It hurt so much more
I couldn't have thought
That you'd do that to me.
You don't love me now
I don't know what happened
We used to be perfect
Now you've gone so far away.

I will always love you
No matter what you say
You will still be my first
And too hard to forget.

He broke up with me. Exactly one year after we started dating. It was his birthday, too. I wrote him that other poem for it and he said he liked it. But then he just said that he didn't feel the way that he used to.
Oh well. He was a high maintenance jerk, I have recently realized. Someone better will come along
