You belong to another
Yet you shared yourself with me
Our brief moment in time together
Set me on a path of self-discovery

For the first time in my life
I finally felt unchained, set free
To simply enjoy things
To learn how to be me

You somehow brought me out
Of my self-imposed shell
Now I honestly look forward
To getting to know myself well

Our brief moment in time together
Was way to short, my now beloved friend
And if were it up to me
It wouldn’t have had to end

Yet many other obligations
And life have gotten in the way
But I very much look forward
To being with you again someday

My dear lover and friend, please be happy
Wherever may life find you to be
Perhaps every once in awhile
You will think back and fondly remember me.
