Looking Back On Us
When I think of all that we
might’ve been, it saddens me but
to think of all that I’ve become
since I left you, since I found the one
who truly completes me, I know
that I don’t need you anymore but I remember
a time not so long ago, when I did
when you were everything I wanted and
remembering now, it seems strange to me
so strange to me that you could’ve been so important
when we barely talk anymore and I wonder
once more, what might’ve been
--I’m happy now, but looking back,
I see all the flaws I overlooked in you
but I also see all the reasons
I chose to ignore them
and love you--
being with him, however, has brought me
back from the edge I was
dangling over so precariously
and I don’t think I could go back
to a time before I loved him, even for
someone who once meant the
world to me.
