Learning to Live

The day we met

I couldn't begin to imagine

how much our lives would change

for better

and for worse.

We shared laughs and we shared tears

we had so many close calls

yet we persevered

together.

Why then have we drifted so far apart?

Why did I turn to see it was you that pushed me down?

Why does it hurt so much?

Perhaps I shouldn't have fooled myself

to think...

it would be you that would

always be there.
