TRUE STORY - Poem - Farewell my love

Farewell my love

There I was deeply in love with her
It seems so perfect of everything about her
Her sweet smiles and ticklish laughters
Oh how it makes my heart flutters

Her beautiful face, how could I ever forget
Every single day the thought of her always linger in my mind, never forget
There was no need for fancy toys
Just to be with her was my greatest joys

Through her days of joys, sorrows and sickness I would be there for her
'Cause I have given my whole heart to her
Never thought of others 'cause she's everything to me
Her happiness was what matters most to me

I would look forward to the end of the day just to see her again
I would never get tired of seeing her again and again
Its such a wonderful feelings just to hold her hands
How I wish we could grow old together and would still be holding hands

When she put her head on my shoulder
I felt I could withstand the world placed on my shoulder
A gentle peck is like the raindrop on a misty mountain
Like a crystal clear spring cascading from an everlasting fountain

Though we had a rocky first few months of our relationship
The first two years was a perfect testimony of our loving relationship
Like all relationships, the occasional quarrels would surface
Come the fourth year, more and more quarrels began to surface

Though it hurts my heart and all
I am glad I have given my all
Though I have loved and lost
The thought of loving someone whole heartedly is not fully lost

For its not about loving me, it is about loving her
It is not about possessing her, but of giving what is most important to her
There were times when I thought I should not let her go
But if you thought that it might give her true happiness, how could I not let her go

Time waiteth for no man, she had new relationships
I still maintained contacts with her. We were in best-friend kind of relationships
Though I was hurt inside, how could I discard her out of my life
She was everything in my life

She would confide in me of her new relationships
I would try to give my most neutral view of her relationships
My heartaches would not matter anymore
It is her happiness that would be forevermore

One day she told me she had found the one whom she felt comfortable with
Whom she wanted to get married with
She told me of her wedding plans and all
Though I was happy for her, my sadness engulfed me all in all

I was invited to her wedding dinner
And was asked to help out at the wedding dinner
Though I would brave fires to everything she asked of me
This time I politely declined for fear of breaking down deep within me

Nevertheless i went. I tried to put on a brave front at her wedding
Nothing tasted sweet, not even the pudding
While I was smiling on the outside
I was drowned with sorrows on the inside

I would never regret of loving and giving all of me to her
Or how wholeheartedly I cherished her
She has found her soul mate
While I am still a lonely mate

I could only wish her well
And for her husband to treat her well
God bless her marriage
And God bless me to bring me to my life partner in the coming new page

Though I am getting on in years
In God I trust to see me through the joys and tears
When it all seems cloudy and overcast
Into His Hands my cares I cast

Farewell my love
I wish you true happiness and lots of love
All shall be fine within my soul
For Jesus is The Saviour of my soul

Note: I wrote the above many years back in 1 seating in about 1 hour or so. The emotions, the words just flowed like a river. With minor edits these few days.

I wrote the above to encourage a friend who was bitter with her past traumatic relationship. Her ex-boyfriend left her for her best friend. How ironic. The stuff of a tragic Hollywood love story. But it is a true story. My true story and her true story. I hope to share it with fellow steemians too if it can be of any encouragement or at the very least an entertainment for your reading pleasure! :)p

God had since blessed me with a new love. We got married in 2010.
