What You Gave To Me Poem by Lindsay Elise

I see now, that I loved you.
“only in hindsight, ” as they say.
Because I thought, when I loved you,
“no, it cannot be, ”
and I did not think
That I could be in love.

And what you do not know you gave to me,
Is that you gave me a point
of comparison.
When, now,
I am unsure of my heart,
I can remember back to my heart with you and
Say either,
“no, it is not true, ” or,
“yes. I have found love anew.”
