In loving times

In loving times,  when our hearts were paired
Life was great,  in the feelings between us shared. 
Our relationship flourished,  And contentment grew
In each other we trusted,  in the years love did pursue. 

And born out of love,  we were gifted a daughter
Each joyous moment shared in life as we taught her. 
Two hearts that joined & became as one
Then an added extra,  of another one. 

They say that three,  becomes a crowd 
But with so much love,  made me a family proud. 
But as the years went by,  And attentions distracted 
I began to believe your feelings,  we're being retracted. 

I noticed your eyes begin to wander, 
We're you lusting others,  My mind did ponder. 
Had I not been giving the love that you lusted? 
My jealous mind,  became a heart untrusted. 

And without the trust,  that we had shared 
I was left with a broken heart,  needing repaired.
But jealousy had reared its green envious head
This was the start of the end, of life to you i'd pled. 

And when my thoughts became fact, 
It was the realisation i needed to hear. 
For now I knew I had to move on without you
I saddly thought with a final & fateful last tear. 

I'd cried a river already,  I'd ran out of tears 
So I waved you goodbye, and to our past year's. 
And with these words I say to you,  
I don't have any regrets, for once love was true. 

I'll cherish our memories,  locked away in my heart. 
But we both need to make a fresh start. 
I wish you well in your travels,  wherever you end
Knowing 'm not losing a lover,  I'm just gaining a friend.
