The 1

So I was thinking,
Of a time not long ago.
About when all I wanted,
Was to be with you and grow,
To have a lifetime of memories,
And a journey to be explored.
What we had together,
Other people adored.
But just like a flower’s beauty,
The leaves turn brown.
Our love floated up,
The came crashing down.
Leaving in its path,
Broken hearts and shattered dreams.
A flood of emotions,
But it’s not bad as it seems.
Being away from you,
Opened my mind.
It shows me the reality,
That true love is hard to find.
It makes me think of what I had,
And appreciate the things for me you’ve done.
I’ve realized that I didn’t need anyone else,
And all the time you were the one.
