.........I REMEMBER........

                                   


I remember why we separated



And why I have no regrets


I remember it’s always easy to forgive


But not as easy to forget


I remember being in his presence


Yet I still felt all alone


I remember asking why is he here?


I’m doing everything on my own


I remember doing all the work


While he reaped the benefits


I remember being good to him


But he didn’t appreciate it


I remember holding conversation


Hoping to be heard


I remember how he brushed me off


And didn’t listen to one word


I remember all the times


I felt completely misunderstood


I remember thinking why do I try?


It does neither of us any good


I remember discussing a possible future


Our plans, my goals and views

I remember him showing no interest at all

He doesn’t think the way I do

I remember trying to voice my concerns


Making it clear that I was bored


I remember the day I got fed up


Sick and tired of being ignored


I remember thinking to myself


That warning was his last


I remember how he was once a present


Now a product of my past


I remember thinking enough is enough


I shall argue no more


I remember the day I packed my things


And headed for the door


I remember the way he stared at me


With sadness in his eyes


I remember leaving peacefully and thinking


Why is he surprised?


I remember all the fear I felt


After making my decision


I remember when loneliness set in


It wasn’t an easy transition


I remember getting accustomed


To doing things on my own


I remember gaining the peace of mind


That comes with being alone


I remember the sense of pride I felt


When I got my life on track


I remember when I walked away


There was no looking back


I remember the day he called me up


Trying to redeem himself


I remember breaking the news to him


“I’ve moved on with someone else”


I remember all my efforts and energy


That’s why I have no regrets


I remember it was just as easy


To forgive, to move on and to forget
