I BELIEVED MY LOVE, I BELIEVED

I believed what we had would stand the test of time. I believed we would last forever. I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed in you, in me, in love. I believed in us.
I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed when the raging waters came, we would cling together and that we could weather any storm, my love.
I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed you were the one for me, that I was the one for you. I believed we were the halves to make one another whole.
I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed my heart would never break. I believed in a once in a lifetime love, a passion unmatched. I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed your touch, your smile, your embrace would heal every pain. I believed, my love, I believed.

I believed we would be a family, that we would create a bond that would find deep roots and grow. I believed, my love, I believed.

Maybe I was foolish to believe that something so perfect could ever exist, but still I believed, my love, I believed.

When we said goodbye, my love, I believed I’d be alright.
I believed, my love, I believed.

I sit here broken, confused, wishing for one more chance at happiness, my love. I believed in so much, my love, but now I’m learning that no matter the pain in my heart, goodbye, it is, my love, goodbye.

Even so, my love, I believe. I still believe.


Here's my confession: I did write that poem. Those are my deepest thoughts, contained in a poem. And, yes, I still believe.
