Lost Love

By Silke Wettergren

The most amazing moment was when we met.
The love and time I have shared with you
have all been without regret.

In spite of our love
I am painfully aware
that you are gone
And no longer there.

You made up your mind and you went away
as things started to not feel right.
I know it’s pointless to wish for you to stay
because at the end of the tunnel there is no more light.

Often I don’t know what to say or do.
So many times I have cried over you.
Emptiness and sorrow are now a part of me
Since I have to accept that we will never be.

BUT

Our memories continue to live in my heart
As I wish you well with your brand-new start.

Please, believe me when I say,
You will always be with me,
Come what may.
