There will be a day

There will be a day,
sometime in the future,
and on this day,
I'm going to smile,
but it won't be because I'm thinking of you.
I'm going to laugh,
but it won't be because you made me.
I'm going to gaze off,
but it won't be in your eyes.
I'm going to have butterflies in my stomach,
but it won't be because you put them there.
I'm going to talk on my phone,
but it won't be you on the other end.
I'm going to have someone's arm around me,
but it won't be yours.
And on this day,
I'm going to feel like the happiest girl in the world,
and the luckiest girl in the world,
because he picked me to be his,
and you didn't.
But I want you to know,
when this day comes,
no matter what,
I will still look back on what we had,
and know that I am a better person now,
for having you in my life then.
You will always be a part of me.
