We have loved, We have lost, and we’ve cried,
Nights were long and quiet, to sleep we tried.
Our hearts flooded, pillows soaked in pain,
And the nights pass like a slow moving train.
We ask the stars, we ask the breeze,
"Are they real?" no answers, they freeze.
A guide, a teacher, in love's disguise,
Sent to open our closed eyes.
One brought joy then went away;
Teaching happiness forever, doesn't stay.
One broke us, left a permanent scar,
Helping us become who we are.
One stayed awhile, but did not last,
Teaching, life changes constantly and it’s fast.
One never loved, but we learned,
Unchecked desires will lead to heart burn.
They came with no textbook, no rule,
Only their presence; bitter and cool.
In Love, it’s not being in chain but in letting go,
It’s not weakness; it’s how we grow.
There is no forever, that is not the real plan,
Only lessons, etched by each woman or man.
Some wrote verses, some just a line,
But all were needed, they are nature's design.
We are not broken, just growing through,
Each one was a mirror, shaped us to be tough.
So take the lesson and leave the person and pain,
As each chapter, for us it is already written.
