A New Life

*This poem is really long, but please take the time to read it and tell me what you think*

Once upon a time
We were in love
You were only mine
And I was the only one you thought of
From sneaking in past our curfew
Just to spend more time
To staying up all night talking to you
Is how we spent our nights
Some people didn’t agree with us
And we never understood why
They would question our love
And ask why I’m with “that kind of guy”
But nothing changed our love for each other
We got through the thick and thin
We always had each other’s backs
No matter what would happen
You were my first love
And I was yours
I gave everything up
Because I was completely yours
We weren’t just in love
We were the best of friends
So no matter what
We both knew we would never really end
We both agreed what our children’s names would be
Jayden for a girl, and Jordan for a boy
Even though we were young
We knew in the future we would still bring each other joy
But one day everything changed
And you simply just walked away
I never understood why
From that day on
The tears never dried
You didn’t give an explanation
You just ran out of my life
You didn’t understand the complication
Of me not being able to be your wife
You never called
You never stopped by
You left me all alone
Barely being able to get on with life
How did you throw something so special away?
How could you forget me and move on with life?
And why am I still stuck with this pain?
You left me miserable
Not knowing where my baby was tore me apart
I couldn’t do anything because I was simply unable
I never moved on
I never found anyone like you
From that day on
I was still madly in love with you
Years have passed and you’re still the only thing on my mind
I still haven’t heard from you
As I sadly let time pass me by
One day at my job a familiar voice called my name
I slowly turned around
And it was you that came
You asked if I remembered you
And I couldn’t even speak
All I could do was hug you
As a tear rolled down my cheek
You had two little kids around your leg
I got so confused as thoughts filled my head
Then you introduced them
And they were your kids
Jayden and Jordan
And my heart skipped a beat
I felt like a was gonna faint
As my body was filled with heat
A million questions ran through my head
Then a beautiful woman walked up
To which you were happily wed
I would have rather died
Than to see you that day
Knowing the love of my life
Had a family with someone other than me
I can’t describe the pain I felt
Because all this time my heart was still with you
You didn’t even care
Because now you have a family with you
All those years of wondering
If we could ever again be
All went down the drain
When I saw those kids calling you daddy
Me and you thought of those names
Back in the day when we felt the same
You were supposed to be the father of my kids
And I was supposed to be your wife
That you would always be with
Even if you are happy with her
You’re with the wrong person
Our life could’ve been better
I don’t know if you left me for her
But when I think about our love
It all just seems like a blur
This time we kept in touch
And eventually I learned to accept your life
I got over calling your kids the names WE chose
And before long became best friends with your wife
I will never get married
Because my heart is still with you
Even though I have to front the rest of my life
I will always be in love with you
