I came across your old letters today
It brought back memories of yesterday
A part inside me felt a little sad
Rekindling all the moments we had
I know now things ended for the best
Our relationship not withstanding the test
I always thought we would last forever
sharing our lives, happy together
I guess fate had a different view
All I'm now left with are memories of you
Maybe we created our own fate
throwing hurtful words filled with hate
so many mistakes we had made
Now not seeming a fair trade
Our friendship we put on the line
In hopes of a loving commitment we'd find
Not everything was bad, it's just what stings the most
The memories of our hurtful past, a reoccurring ghost
I'm not sure if you feel the same
Our friendship had to end to prevent further pain
But for me, looking back in hindsight
We did a lot of things that weren't right
I wish we could of better handled things
Through the obstacles that life brings
But we tried our best, with what we knew
I'm thankful still for being with you
Although some things still hurt inside
Maybe you were my stepping stone, my guide
It's funny how things change over time
How emotions can switch at the turn of a dime
Making promises of loving someone forever
Working through problems and being together
How pain and hurt can become too much
Your love now too painful to touch
You occasionally have your doubts if love could ever last
But if you didn't risk and try you'd have no good memories of the past
At first the pain is so strong you feel you can't live
But as time passes by you learn to forgive
To move on and start something new
Being grateful for the time of knowing you
A broken road created by people of the past
leading me to my hearts true love at last
So although your old letters made me a little sad
I'm grateful for the experience and the love that we had
For the good memories that we leave behind
I will always cherish and hold dear in my mind
For it has all inspired a hope, a greater wisdom deep inside
That God will bless my broken road, leading me to my true love he will provide.
Author notes
I think this is pretty explanatory but for those that don't get it. I wrote this after going through some old letters and cards my ex had given me I accidently stumbled across while cleaning my room. It brought back old memories of when we were together and everything we had been through. Believe it or not time does ease the pain of things. Not denying that some stuff still hurts but now looking back I can see things better. The mistakes we made. Trying our best irreguardless if things didn't work out. I rather like to believe that the people we date or meet in our lives are there for a reason to teach us something or help us grow to prepare us for the relationship we are inevitably meant to be in. That is saying, if we are meant or want to be in a relationship.

I agree! Each person we date or have a friendship with, there is always a reason for those relationships. I've learned a lot from everyone I've been associated with. Your poem made me think of one of my friends. Last year we fell out over a very complicated mess, and we kept writing hate poetry to each other. Eventually, it all got sorted out, and we're back to normal now. We can even talk about the reason why we fell out in the first place, without the old uncomfortable feelings. Thank you for entering my contest.

I Am Highly Impressed at just how simiular our poetry is.
odd,isn't it,how old lyrics seem to take up an enormously
large part of our desirelessly un-tastingly life?
