Old Flame

One year ago today you broke my heart.
A pain I thought would never end.
One I was sure, then, would kill me.
Yet here I am, so different from the girl you once knew.
      Now, A woman
Not what you think I am, but a glimpse of what I will become
      Even so, I think of you
And a dull ache returns to my chest.
Not quite the gut wretching, bleeding, agonizing pain      
      I once felt.
But a feeling all the same.
You were my first love in all its innocence and
      Despite everything
     All our differences
and the circumstances that tore us apart,
          I will never forget you.
