A Tribute to My By-gone Lover (3) You plan on moving to the city where I work and live. You talk about how your parents will love me. You show me to all your friends. You make sure your friends like me and take special care of me as you do. You include me in all your future plans. You have many nicknames for me, all so endearing. You type more lines than I do when we chat online, and when I have to go, I'll have to wait till you finish your many farewells and smileys. You keep an eye on me when we are with a group of people. You say yes to all my proposals for our time out. You play along with all the stupid games I initiate and make sure I have fun. You inspire me to want to do all I can to make you happy and proud of what I do. You spoil me more than my parents. You gave me everything you were capable of giving me. But all in all, it's the love, the commitment you made, that mattered most. All of this I can not return, and I have no idea how much longer I have to be tortured with guilt and regrets. My fondest hope can only be that you'll eventually find a girl who's more worthy than me, who will celebrate everyday with you and fulfill all the beautiful dreams you once had with me.
