Time as a healer?

Yes and what a day it
was, I discovered
something I should not have
betrayed a trust in my trust
like virginity never to be regained
First there was the jealousy
of thinking I was suddenly
not near the center 
of your universe
Then there was abject fear
at the thought of
my impending irrelevance
in your world
Then there was sorrow
that I had destroyed something
I had worked so carefully
to build in your heart
Then there was happiness
that at least I had
shared in your life
that no matter what happens tomorrow
There will always be love
for you inside of me
Time doesn’t heal wounds
but instead grants us some perspective.
