Do you remember? 

That was the first day.

When we come across each other,

We clicked.

The feeling when

We gaze at one another.

We were like a magnet. 

You were a rare gem for me.

Something rare to be mine

I felt like a king.

The love I gave to you,

with a pure heart.

You handed it back.

I was quite grateful.

I felt special.

We used to play 

travel together

have the most fun on earth

kisses and hugs

laughter and peace

Life was quite sweet.

Memories I can't forget

I now feel hollow. 

Why did you leave?

Why did you move on?

What wrong did I do?

Don't I fit in your world?

Please consider me.

Come back home,

return to me.

I will be here, waiting for you.

My door will always be open.

I still have your place in my heart.

What struck me most was the authenticity and sincerity in your writing. You have a gift for conveying genuine emotion and evoking a sense of nostalgia that resonates deeply with readers. Your ability to find beauty in life's everyday moments is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. "Life Was Quite Sweet" is a reminder to cherish the small joys and moments of sweetness that enrich our lives, even amidst the challenges and uncertainties we may face.
