four

four
each year it will grow
to yet a new number
yet is a reminder of you
takes me back to a time
when you and i were happy
when you and i had fun
when you and i laughed
when it was just you and i
four
the years have passed i know
the memories are still in tact
of the greatest ones i can remember
because of you i experienced some amazing things
i still regret letting you go back then
four
you have moved on, had several lovers
you have moved on, you ventured into college
you have moved on, new friends, new experiences
yet i am forgotten in your memories
why didn't i fight to get better
four
so on this day, i want to say thank you
for the memories
for the laughter
for the love
for the fun
for the adventure
because four years ago this week
is when i made a huge mistake
now life continues on.
