have reworked this poem - I think it has a better meaning and flow - your comments are welcomed - thanks

‘I see’ you said but your never opened your eyes
‘I heard’ you said but your ears were closed
I spoke and you disregarded me
I left and you didn’t notice me gone
‘Come back’ you said but your words were too late
‘I love you’ you said but there was nothing left to love

Now I breathe a different air
Now I see more clearly without you
Now I hear every bird that sings
Now I speak and my words are acknowledged
Now I stay and I am welcomed
Now I love and I am loved in return

thank goodness for your wealth of discovery
to be loved and give love is what life is
true meaning and trust...
be in that blessed and know fortune

Beautiful write/right
