Sometimes we don't understand why things happen the way they do. Things never seem to be fair in life and especially in love. Yet, it is my understanding that things do happen for a reason. We just have to be open to hear why, even though it may hurt.
Here is a poem that I wrote regarding my ex bf. Now, after having written this, I am truly at peace with the relationship.
Farewell
My heart crumbled with your reply,
My world fell apart with your goodbye.
Who was I to ask you to stay?
You needed to go away.
I don’t understand though I said I do,
Lonely nights thinking of you.
What I would have done to keep you here,
What I would have given to bring you near.
My failed attempts to erase you from memory,
How could I ever forget our entire story?
I always was impossible doing the impossible,
But loving you was always inevitable.
To hate you my bitterness craved,
Your love my soul did save.
Never before have I loved,
Never again will I cave.
Tomorrow seems like an eternity,
When compared to our mortality.
Countless times I searched for an answer,
Motives and reasons to continue on together.
Deep inside the emptiness grows,
Down and down the tears flow.
Yet I’m happy for all you’ve accomplished,
Your memory time will never extinguish.
I finally understand why,
The absence of goodbye.
Enlightened with your farewell,
Understanding myself very well.
Now I look deep into my reflection,
Sadness a bittersweet emotion.
Never could I hate you,
Forever will I love you.

I can feel that you are a person which represents a phoenix rising from the ashes. You will be fine and maybe even that much stronger from this experience. :P
Oh most definitely. Can't have the sweet without the sour. ;-)
