You

I wouldn’t care if you told me now that the words you said before were lies
Or if when our chapter closed it was for different reasons than you implied.
I’ve made peace with the fact that what I dreamed would not become reality.
But the lessons you taught me greatly outweigh any pain, in actuality.

I felt a love that was different than any I had felt before; I felt accepted.
And when we met, we talked of all our dreams and I felt more than I expected.
I fell in love with the person that I knew but it was the friendship that drew me in.
You were teaching me to love myself, and others, in ways I hadn’t been.
You taught me that love can exist in more places than just one.
You taught me that it was okay to let go of my fears, that my battles could be won.

I’d never felt so comfortable, and for always that will reign true,
Because it was in my darkest days that you have helped me through.
