we were meant to be, <br />we made a pledge of love <br />under the fullness of the moon <br />the North Star is our witness <br /> <br />we got separated <br />Fate has its reasons <br />we do not know <br />how it happened <br /> <br />how could i love you <br />and yet decide to leave and love another? <br />how could i betray you <br />and marry another one instead? <br /> <br />Fate has its reasons <br />I do not know how it happened. <br /> <br />All i know is this: You will be happier <br />If it were not me. <br /> <br />I have less and i cannot give you more. <br />I have loved you more and cannot afford to give you less. <br /> <br />You deserve to be happy. I don't. <br />Forget me then for I have hurt you.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-poem-for-today/
