    I discovered this poem sometime around 2015… I remember repeating this poem just to help me cope with a heartbreak I was dealing with 2 years in… It’s 2024, and I’m still dealing with it. Even after many relationships…. And this poem really stood the test of time. True art will never get old, and true love really is forever. Even if they’re not around. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️
