Description I want to see you happy dear
that's all I'll ever hope for

To see your smile bright and clear
-I'll never wish for more

So if you're happy somewhere else
If some other tugs at your heart

If you must leave me now or forever
If the bonds between us you must sever

Do what your heart pulls you to
Do what will bring joy to you

Love and be loved
Be healthy, be happy, be blessed

Be honest with me now
and do what you know is right

that's all I will ever ask of you

I ask that you'll be happy darling

-just hug me once before you leave

I'll smile up at you
I could never be happier for you, dear

-just don't mind me for a moment

as I turn to brush away a tear

This is beautiful.
I don't know if I would be able to be so gracious about having to accept a situation like that. Sounds like a tough one.
I enjoyed the structure you used and the flow it creates in the poem.

i like this......

love is doing what is best for the other person. and sadly enough that other person may never know how much that love has casued pain and suffering within oneself. they may never know the extent and passion with which they are loved, and your love never dies no fades.....it is after all love.

ah, love.

it makes you.
then breaks you.
then takes you.

thts life and love.

love.

i dunno...i like it...you're so good at getting emotion into writing, even though it may not be as good as you want it to be...

Hmm... Sacrificing what you want so another can be happy... A very noble ideal.
