  Ah!  What a relief.
  I feel as if a great weight
  is off my shoulders.
  
  After all this time!
  She and I, getting closer.
  My hope was refilled.
  
  But, it didn't last.
  Reality, laughing at
  me again.  Laughing.
  
  I didn't want to
  let go, to give up my hopes.
  Feeling that were great.
  
  Seeing her again,
  talking to another guy.
  She really likes him.
  
  I finally cope,
  letting reality in,
  opening my eyes.
  
  Suffering is gone.
  Freedom, being mine again!
  I can, will go on!
  
  But, I am thankful.
  She will never leave my heart.
  Hope is a good thing.
