Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Happiness on seeing someone else love again.
Daydreams from the Ashes
: Easier by K. Olsen

It feels easier, now that you have forgotten me.
I say this not in sorrow, not in pain, but in relief
that all the strains and sighs now leave me be.
I find peace knowing that flown is all your grief
and all the fears that kept you from being free. 

It feels easier, to see that the scars have faded.
I can stand open-hearted beneath a gloaming sky
and watch twilight raindrops miss earth shaded
by dark branches, without regretful sigh—
all this because the hands of Time have aided.

It feels easier, to see how you move on.
Knowing that the wounds I did bleed no more,
Hearing that all the harm I worked is gone,
brings me a lighter heart, if one still sore;
your happiness shares a brighter dawn. 

It feels easier to see a wish fulfilled at every plea.
On winter nights, summer days, from here to end,
may lost or absent your memories of us ever be.
It is enough to know where I cut, she may mend.
May ardent love and joy be all you ever see.

It is easier, now that you have forgotten me.


Author Notes
So this is the epilogue to relationship that was not good for either party. Instead of something bitter or just regret, I thought it might be better to put it to rest with the actual good wishes I feel now, looking at how things have gone.
