You were not ugly, not all pain,
Not every memory felt like rain.
There were soft days, quiet light,
And moments that almost felt right.
But almost right is still not whole,
And pretty pain can drain the soul.
Some good parts cannot save the cost,
Of all the peace a heart has lost.
So I can bless what once was kind,
And still leave all the hurt behind.
You were beautiful, but goodbye-
A lovely lesson I survived.
