To Peter, James, and Paul
You know who you are
Funny how it has taken
Me all these years
To this very moment
To see that you would
Have never harmed me
To have broken your heart
So very completely
Without a backward glance
All these years adamant
That I did the right thing
And never regretting
Not even for a moment
Always so sure
That having left you
Was to the right thing to do
Now here I am
Finally seeing all the years
You had loved me
A love so true
A love so complete
A love that comes once in a lifetime
A love that will never repeat
And regret is not what
Is lodged in my heart
But a gratefulness
To have loved and been loved
