As I approach the time where my memories reside

My temporary happiness diminishes

I truly remember now what it was like

It's amazing how much can change in one year

How much onecan miss another

You were there for me

When no one else was

You cared about me

When I needed someone the most

Sometimes I wish I never met you

I could have made it through alone

But you made my life worth living

You reminded me what if felt like to be loved

At the time I'm sure you felt the same way

You don't need me anymore

But I have a great need for you

I've always had since the day I met you

I didn't even know you, yet I felt the connecetion

Months went by before I was with you once more

I was willing to give up everything just to call you mine

Scares me now when I see how vulnerable

I was to your presence

Life is just not the same without you anymore

I cannot go one moment without thinking of you

You're lingering aura is everywhere I am

Making me reminisce of those times I loved you so

To me, It seems like fate pulled us together

I believe what you put me through was for a reason

I just can't come to a conclusion

Maybe you were my guardian angel

Sent to protect me and show me love when I needed it the most

This was a year ago

When you left me alone again

After my strength came back home

I thought that then I would be fine alone

But only now I realize

It was you that kept me moving foward

I only faced each day because of you

This past year everything is different

I live each day just to get it over with

Hoping you will come back

I miss you so much

I have nothing to want

Nothing I need

But you

As time goes on, new obstacles I have been fearing

Finally come near

And this time I do admit that I am scared

I have no idea what's in store for me

I used to have a sense of hope

But too many things have taken that away

Showing me nothing but despair

I don't know what to think anymore

I'm just here, doing what I always do

Eventually I will need to face what I am afraid of

And I know you can't be here this time

You have left me forever

It is best that I forget you

Otherwise, you would have taken over the rest of my life that is still free

I need to leave this place

Any put every memory of you in the past

I cannot dwell on you any longer

I need to be set free

You have only caused me great pain

And with this poem

I would like to say one thing before I finish

Dan, I love you and thank you for everything

It might not seem important to you, but to me, you have truly changed my life

I only hope you will remember me always

And know that at one point you were my world

Reading this you may hot know what I am trying to tell you

But in time you will see what I mean

Thank You

May the times we had together remain forever in both your heart and mind

I will miss you
