In days before I said “I do,”
A crush I had, sweet and true.
Though we weren’t destined to walk side by side,
His imprint remains, a tender embrace.
Â
Â
Down-to-earth, he stood, a pillar of grace
I remember him vividly, clear and near,
A portrait of kindness, calm, and pure
Every nuance I hold dear, a glimpse dearly preserved.
Â
Â
His smile, a sunbeam that touched his eyes,
White streaks by his ear, like whispers in the skies.
Round eyes that held stories, deep and wise,
His face, like a gentle whisper, softly appears.
Â
Â
No echoes of regret for hands not held,
No vows unspoken, in silence dwelled.
He knew we weren’t love’s chosen brows.
Maturity prevailed, he found his cheer,
Â
Â
No bitterness lingers, just warm applause,
She’s fortunate to be his life’s cause.
Truly glad for their shared path and growth.
Yet his essence in my heart, forever resides.
