Array ( [sid] => 116390 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I only want you to be happy... [time] => 2006-03-14 01:48:15 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I think of the day you left
And all the words we said
I can’t escape the pain
It still echoes in my head

I know that things are different now
It may never be the same
But that’s just how life goes
That’s the name of the game

I know I made you miserable
And made things horrid too
I know I made you hate your life
I never wanted that for you…

I know I screwed things up
I know I made it hard
I know that I am nothing…
I never meant to leave you scarred

I only want you to find happiness
And joy in all you have
I don’t want you to settle for me
If I’ve only made you sad…

I know that you found someone
And I hope he brings you bliss
I hope you find what you need
Deep inside his kiss…

I hope he’s what you wanted
I hope he fulfills your dreams
I hope he keeps his promises
I hope he’s what he seems…

I only want the best for you
I hope that much you see…
I only want you to be happy
Even if it’s not with me… [comments] => 15 [counter] => 474 [topic] => 48 [informant] => holderofthestone [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 53 [ratings] => 12 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Very well written. I know exactly how you feel and you have said it the best Its not easy giving up the one that you love so they can be happy. Excellent way of showing your emotions and also an excellent poem. A+++++

I am in a similar position right now... it sucks but i just want my ex to be happy. This poem really spoke to me in such a beautifully painful way.... i hope you find someone that will care and love you back the way you could love someone.

I never meant to hurt my ex-girlfriend either, and i too hope she finds bliss in her new boyfriend. Well written, a lot of people can relate to what you said here.

Keep it up,

This is a great poem as always you write emotively and it is easy to get in touch with how you feel. This would be hard for me to say to someone I loved- to ask them if they would be happier without me you actually go one step further in your piece and that makes this a very noble work.
