Thank You for the Memories

I have complained

for all that she never gave me.

But I never thanked her,

for giving what I carry now.

I know I am going to miss her

for the rest of my life.

She could find someone new someday

but the memories we shared together

will always remain with me.

She stayed in life for a short time,

but it gave me memories for this lifetime.

I would cherish each moment spent with her,

though there were some painful ones too.

Happy moments with her

was like a grand cruise ship,

that carried me across calm waters.

Her hatred became a tsunami,

destroying my whole world,

and leaving my emotion silent.

Few fights and arguments like ocean waves

but never from within my heart.

Irony, she loves some people

for what they are not,

and hates me for what I truly am.

I have faced battles and fights

but nothing scared me more than loving her.

Not because I feared of losing,

but because I feared failing.

It was about responsibility...

the responsibility of caring for her.

I was always afraid that my love

no matter how true

would never be enough,

for the person I want to protect.
