Those Few Words

I'm left here

With nothing

But those few words.

I know you truly meant them,

But did you know

How much they hurt?

You see me smiling,

Yet I'm breaking inside.

I hope

You come to realize

That I let you go,

Because I care too much

To see you torn in two.

You chose him

But know

That I'll always be here,

Waiting,

With arms wide open,

Whenever you need me.

I'll be there

With nothing but those few words:

"I love you".
