clocks going to strike 12

for a new year and I still think about her everyday almost all the time but she taught me to live into he moment so I've made a poem to enter the new years healthily with her in my mind which is really hard having to let her go because she blocked me on everything and I love her to death and back but I must live so here goes :
A Poem for What Was
We met by chance,
as if time blinked and placed you there—
no warning, no rehearsal,
just two lives crossing sooner than expected.
We fell quickly,
not recklessly,
but like souls recognizing warmth after cold.
Days felt longer with you,
laughter came easier,
touch felt safe.
We made memories meant to last—
soft mornings, quiet smiles,
hands fitting like they had learned each other before.
We kissed and held each other goodbye,
not knowing it was the last time
in this form, in this way.
Distance grew.
So did fear.
Your heart struggled to stay steady,
mine struggled to let go.
You couldn’t regulate the storm inside you.
I couldn’t stop reaching for what felt like home.
I loved you too much to leave.
You cared too much to pretend you could stay.
We both wished it were different.
Wishing didn’t make it so.
What we had was real.
What we lost was real too.
And still—
this ending does not erase the love,
only places it gently in time.
Some loves are not meant to continue,
but they are meant to change us.
And we did.
