A lesson

I thought I’d learned it all when I was with you, But I couldn’t even find a love so pure and true. Being with you was the hardest lesson of all, Yet somehow, it was the best one of all. I knew I couldn’t ignore you— But my heart still broke because of you. So maybe you were the lesson I’d been waiting for— Great and beautiful… but painful to the core. I let go of the past because of you, Yet I’ll always remember the lesson I learned from you.
