remember when

In the depths of my heart, your words reside, A testament to the love we once had, side by side. I cherish the moments we shared, the laughter and tears, The texts and "I love you more" fights, echoing through the years. You were my reason to rise, to greet each new day, To check my phone eagerly, hoping for your message to display. Your presence brought joy, an endless smile on my face, You believed in me when I needed it most, with your embrace. You gifted me confidence, a newfound belief in myself, And love, oh love, the greatest treasure on my shelf. Now, I pen not a "I miss you" plea, but rather, a grateful note, Thank you for the best two months, memories that forever float. You revealed to me my true self, who I could truly be, And for that, my heart holds you dearly, forever and endlessly. Though our paths may diverge, and our love may have waned, I hope you remember the depth of my care, eternally ingrained. I am sorry we couldn't make it work, but grateful for the chance we had, To experience the beauty of love, even if it makes us sad. If you ever ponder upon our time, filled with regret and doubt, Know that you can't return, for now, we must live without. But thank you, my dear, for showing me
