We drew close,
and found ourselves in love.

As the year passed,
we grew; we learned; we matured.

We held each other; we helped each other,
and part of each became the other.

Until the point
where we grew apart.

And though we are no longer together,
we are forever changed by our love.

We will remember the smiles,
and the warmth of our hugs.

We will cherish the happy memories,
and learn from the sad.

We will forever be
a part of each other.

And this is the single best gift
anyone can ever give.
