JUST A GIRL
I met a young girl with a kind heart and a beautiful smile.
At a time of an unknown future, she made me feel alive again.
Always looked forward to seeing her again and again.
Year after year of friendship.
Year after year of sharing life's circumstances.
She did not see herself the way I did.
I wanted her to know the princess she was.
Then one night we found ourselves at dinner.
A dinner ordained by heaven.
A dinner that could have latest forever.
A dinner where friends knew there was more.
I wanted to make all her dreams come true.
Her heart was bigger than life itself.
Two years of getting to know each other deeper.
A wedding unlike anything ever experienced.
The sweetness of youth that I missed in my life.
She gave me a lovely life.
A life worth living again and again.
A love deep, wide and true.
A trust like no other.
A love blessed by God.
I made all her dreams less one come true, but lost mine.
A love that should have lasted an eternity.
But a decade is not an eternity.
Glad I met her, may never be better.
I will be okay without her.
Don’t spend a lifetime asking why, just ask what's next.
For she was just a girl then, but she is a woman now.
Be happy to be sad and thankful for the blessing.
And live in kindness and compassion.
