One Year

365 plus days later
She sat alone
And wept
The pain felt as strong as ever
She couldn't believe that she still hurt
Nothing was wrong
But all at once
Everything was
None of them stayed
She spent another countless and endless night alone

She didn't mind being alone
Until she felt it
It hurt so much
She ached everywhere

It was gone
And perhaps this was the first moment in an entire year
Of trial and error
Of more heartbreak
To realize it was over

Her first real love was gone
He was leaving
She was lost
She didn't long for him, but rather what they were

She longed for something that lasts
But in this one year
She learned it wasn't love
