All I ever wanted was to love you As when I saw you first from far away. But then it was my sweet mistake to have you Too young to hold the demons long at bay. For years I hated you, for only hate Could cauterize the wounds that would not heal, And gorged myself on fantasies to sate A hunger I could neither suage nor feel. Eventually, we both found other loves And settled into other lives. And yet The past like some unquiet ghost still moves Within, too fraught with longing to forget. We have moved on, as is mature and wise. But love, though long abandoned, never dies.
