Because Of You

I find I am missing you. And revisiting your point of view. With an understanding, I wish I knew then! I find I am listening more. And hearing to comprehend, With a patience... I did not have before. I grew because of you! I find my time has purpose now. And I can admit, I had wasted most of it. To mope and sit in utter selfishness. And I grew because of you! I grew because of you. In ways I never knew I could before. And... So happy I am we met. So happy I am I can reflect... Knowing what you have left behind, Stays with me and sits in my mind. To encourage this life I live, Is to do so... With forgiveness, And love to give. Released unconditionally. This is what you left for me to know! And I grow, Because of you!
