The Pain
There is pain in watching you wandering the roads with someone else
There is pain in watching you looking at the colors of the walls of places I would have loved to show you
I expected the pain because I am realistic
I might have expected it to feel lighter, easier
With love, often comes pain
And this peaceful acknowledgment that someone’s happiness, sometimes, might not include you

However hard it is to accept, it is the truth
And love can only shine through the truth
In these moments, I remind myself what I told you in the early days : I love you for free
My love comes with highs and lows
My love comes with joys and traumas
But above all, my love for you is free.
And even though I can feel pain today,
I will always feel love.
