I was thinking of you just the other day
Then I heard the news today
That you had gone another way
You were never mine for the start
Yet you earned a placed in my heart
And I feel I have to say
You made me a little stronger
Made me feel good a little longer
Your smile was just enough to cheer me up
Thank you for everything
Now I hope your life is full of bliss
Not a moment you want to miss
Remember to cherish it all
I know we went our separate ways
But I rememeber all the days
Like it was just last fall
One day we may meet again
Remember good times and grin
But until then let me just say
Thank you for everything

Writer's note:
This poem I wrote right after I heard about 2 friends that I lost contact with after moving to away from the city we lived in were now married. No, they did not marry each other because as far as I know they didn't know each other. But trust me, they're not a couple. Anyway, I remember all the good times I had with them and I hope that they have all the best with their spouses and families. At the same time, I feel like an old maid hearing about their marriages but I know in my heart I will find Mr. NotPerfectButHe'sGreatForMe soon. By the way, this poem may sound more like it is towards a guy but that the way the poem flowed out of my brain. I can't help how it goes!
