They tell me that a poet writes,
His best work when he is sad.
If this is true, then this will be,
The best one that I've ever had.

My heart is breaking completely in half,
I find it hard to breathe.
I cannot fathom living this way,
Since you decided to leave.

You said you would love me forever,
But forever came way too soon.
I thought our love would last until,
The other one waited just beyond the Moon.

I knew we had our problems,
As all couples surely do.
I never knew the extent of them,
Until you told me we were through.

I know that you are feeling this too,
The emptiness that I once filled.
The lonliness is overwhelming me,
The tension is starting to build.

I know that you are thinking,
That you have made the right call.
But I wish that we could still be friends.
That would be better than nothing at all.

We knew all about each other's routines,
We couldn't wait for the chance to share.
But now all I do is wander around,
And wish that I didn't care.

I want for you to be happy,
That has always been my sole intention.
That I loved you with all inside me,
I do not even need to mention.

May you live long and happy,
Never cry the tears that I've shed.
May you always know deep in your heart,
That I will never regret the day we wed.
