I see

I get it now, my cloak finally removed
Denial of past and sight of present, now clear
It all of a sudden makes sense
Without judgement or lingering resentment
Removing myself from the picture
It was real
It meant a lot to you
Your love and friendship made you feel things in a very special way

I understand how you loved her
I know she provided you things you haven't had in a long time
I know she also loved you
I am not afraid to discuss and acknowledge the relationship was all encompassing
Friendship, adventure, intimacy, a new horizon and happiness
I can see more about you now
Because I never wanted to understand your feelings for her
I never wanted to accept them
But they were real
They were a part of you

I'm so sorry you lost the future you had once imagined, with her
I'm sorry that the joy and life you two shared no longer exists
You are at a loss
I want to one day understand

Reigniting our friendship has greatly impacted me
I cannot distance myself from you
I cannot
You are my best friend, and I miss you

I love you
You know I do
I am able to accept you for who you are
To respect the memories you shared with her
To hope your heart isn't completely destroyed

Because I understand
I know what love is, in all forms

I still hold my deepest love for you
No matter what happens in our lives
Through it all
I will never stop loving you

I hope you soon find love for yourself
Never let it wander
Forever be you, because you are a gift to the world
