Within the boundaries of my heart, I see,
pain and sorrow of your wife's pained eyes.
Strengthening up, I must set you free,
for unknown reasons, I hear her hearts cries.
Passion and love that we shared endlessly,
forever will live within this love's heart.
Gazing in your eyes, oh, how I love thee,
I'll let go, so a new life can take part.
A final kiss, then you walk towards her,
my heart should be weeping, instead I smile.
Our time as one will be hard to conquer,
but as I see the two, it was worthwhile.
My hearts burdened light but understanding,
you have a wife and a life that's demanding.
I love you more then anything, always,
and your commitment to repair what's failed.
Makes me love you even more these next days
as I watch the spark become more detailed.
Within the restaurant we use to dine,
the two of you showed with heated eyes.
I sat enjoying what use to be mine,
accomplishment made after several tries.
Drinking the last of my favorite wine,
tears of joy filling up within my soul.
To let go was hard, but now her eyes shine,
and with great pleasure, I gained self control.
It's been ten years, you remained my best friend
our love we shared, was never pretend.
I love you, always.
