I Loved You

In the fading sunlight of a cold winter, amidst the longing and loneliness,
I held your hand, whispered sweet nothings, and promised love.
A single bouquet, a glass of champagne, a pair of high heels,
Even in faded memories, amidst the remnants of the past, I still imagine you.
Just like I once loved a woman,
You must have loved a man before you met me.
But your understanding, patience, and trust that embraced my past,
Made me feel so comfortable, so happy, so loved.
With your mature love, your sincere love, you were beautiful.
I was so grateful, so thankful, that's why I loved you so much.
For an inevitable reason, on a pre-determined date, we had to say goodbye.
The pain was as great as the love, and the scars must have been deep.
Bouquets and countless drinks couldn't erase it now.
In those countless memories, with lingering regrets, I cried tears.
Just like I could never forget,
You must have hurt a man like that before you met me.
Needing someone when we were most vulnerable, we met cautiously,
Scared to fall again, with the pain still fresh.
I'm grateful to the man who loved you before me, who let you go.
Such a good person, such a good person,
For allowing me to have you by my side.
