Like I have said in the past, I am a "freelance writer". I don't just write poetry and stories. Well... technically this is a poem, but it's not in poetic form, so I'll just call it a "blurb".
When I write blurbs, it's an opportunity for you to put your two-cents-worth in and answer the question. Answer it however you wish, just let it be your genuine words and not some mumbo jumbo you took off of something you read or heard about. It's personal opinion.
So here's my blurb:

Have you ever been gifted with true happiness... only to have to willingly let it go? Many have had happiness and easily kept it. Some never found a happiness they had to lose. Many found happiness only to lose it forever. And then there are the few of us who gave up happiness for the sake of someone else.
Too many times opportunity came and went, like moments in time so easily missed. But this last time was different. This last time didn't fall through the cracks, run away, or die at my touch. Each day that passed, I waited for my heart to shatter. I waited for something to happen, a word to be said, or something to be missed; a thing that would end it all for me just as easily as all had ended before. Every day that didn't fail, life grew a little brighter. A found a spring in my step, a gleam in my eye, and a smile on my face.
He's the first person to ever tell me "you are beautiful" and mean it without bias. The first person to cherish every little moment as much as I have. The first person to remain so physically close through the darkest of times... And I took him for granted. I had found happiness, what else could I want? And in the process, I had forgotten him.
Chance timing for a chance event. Things went awry, and now I'm alone again. But knowing the right reasons and being forgiven for my transgressions against him, there is still hope. I cannot say the reason. I cannot tell you why, what, who, or how. I can only say that it was so another would get a second chance where I was never given one. I cannot predict how this will turn out, but I hope for the best.
So... Have you ever been gifted with true happiness... only to have to willingly let it go? I have, but I will never forget these last eight months. I hope that by remembering them, I'll find true happiness once again. (Best of wishes, luck, and love to one who will never read this but will always be number one in my heart. Life has no number or value on what you mean to me)
