You Made The Right Decision Poem by Francis Duggan

I loved you but you dumped me i remember
You said that you would never be my wife
And though i pined and i felt broken hearted
What choice had i but get on with my life? .

Some end their pain of sense of loss in suicide
Though such a thing never once crossed my mind
I endured love's pain and i got on with living
What's past is past and i put the past behind.

In retrospect you made the right decision
When you told me that i was not for you
Your parents did not see me as your equal
That life together was not for us two.

I felt such hurt at your words of rejection
But on looking back that now seems long ago
And if i met you on the street tomorrow
Your once familiar face i might not know.

This thing called love is not all joy and laughter
It often ends in tears and mental pain
But i've lived through love's heart break and recovered
And i've found love and happiness again.

In dumping me you made the right decision
And you did what was best for you as well as me
And i hope you found love and joy in a soul mate
And thanks a million for love's memory.
