The Other Side

@Uootem

Standing here,
          in this forgotten time,
                        on the other side
                                          of a burning bridge.
          i always will be here, waiting
                                if you ever need
                                            the love of your youth.
                for in my heart it still exists.
But you may not return
                        may have forgotten
            all that matters to me...
                              that's ok, I understand why.
            I won't pretend
                            that this doesn't sting,
                                            or that I hadn't hoped,
                                to hear from you...
                  but it is all in the past now.
You've moved on,
          you "got over" me,
                      and have made
                                    so much more with your life.
          perhaps, it is better that
                        I am no longer held in your heart.
I genuinely loved you,
                      but it was not meant to be.
          for no matter what I could do,
it wasn't enough to
                    fill your empty soul.

Even though
        I won't hear from you anymore,
                          I still take time to wonder,
                                        how you are, and if you are happy.
              I guess I will never know for sure.
I wish you the best,
                      and hope that fate is kind,
                            Giving you all you dream of,
Finding true happiness
                and then even more.
I will always continue,
              knowing I couldn't be that for you,
                                        realizing that we taught each other,
painful, but necessary lessons.
