Twenty years completed, how can it be?
Here you sit beside me, but you don't notice me.

The girl you once knew so many years ago.
Has grown into a woman that you don’t even know.

It is not your fault for we were so very young.
We were happy together when all of this began.

A child was born to us that brought us joy.
Sadness came when lost another baby boy.

Two beautiful girls soon to follow.
We were happy then looking forward to tomorrow.

Somewhere along the path we lost our way.
In hopes to find it I decided to stay.

The years passed and though you were there.
Distance grew between us why don’t you care?

I longed for attention, I needed your touch.
Where is the man that loved me so much?

My vow I keep both faithful and true.
The children were happy and had not a clue.

Unhappy and lost I needed so much more.
How could I stop from going out the door.

Every day that went by I wanted to hide.
I needed someone to be by my side.

Time has come now I know in my heart.
That the woman I’ve become now must part.

I want to move on and find happiness once more.
I am not that young girl I was before.

You will always be so very special to me.
My husband, my friend, daddy of three.

It is best for us, you will see.
Never forgeting what was you and me.

Vows now broken, feeling the guilt.
Keeping the memories that we built.

So as I start my new journey single and free.
Know that you have a special part of me.

Over the years I know we will remain close.
What the future holds no one knows.

With every passing day that comes your way.
Never blame yourself because I did not stay.

But know this for sure it is so very true.
In another twenty years I will still be loving you.
