Over Time(happy valentine's day)

One year, three days ago today
It all started.
I was in love.
I was loved.
Now it's fallen apart.
One year ago, I was the happiest girl in the world.
No one could bring me down
Because I had him.
My Loved one.

Six months, ten days ago today,
It all came crashing down.
He left my heart mangled,
bleeding on the ground.
I had nothing more to live for,
Yet no courage to let it go.
Misery became my best of friends.

Five months, nine days ago today,
He moved on, and I forced a smile.
Pretended I was fine,
That I wasn't hurting,
Falling apart inside.
He was so very happy,
They looked so in love.

Today they're still together,
They still look so in Love.
I want him happy above all else,
So I stay silent in the shadows
Saying nothing of how I feel.
Today They prove their love
On this day made only for lovers.
I stand alone in the darkness
Watching wistfully,
Wishing with all my heart
That it was me he held in his arms.
That will never be me again.
I won't be the one he holds.
Whisper to myself
The words I wish to say to him,
Without the courage to do so
For fear of breaking down:
Happy Valentines Day.
