To Have Loved & Lost...

I loved him
and still do
but he loved her
and to her, he flew.

He was my first,
first love, first kiss
how did this happen?
Why did it end up like this?

And although it hurts
he chose her over me
I am happy for him
A smile on his face, I love to see.

He still loves me
and still cares
we are now friends
and everything, we share.

I still miss those moments,
the closeness
but we are still friends
and we still have that bondness.

And so I think to myself
at least I have loved
and try to ignore this pain
because I got one thing solved....

It was better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all.
