Love does not always stay the same. Sometimes the person you gave your heart to changes, and the whole season of your relationship changes with them. This poem talks about that pain — the moment love fades, and you are left holding old memories and footsteps that slowly disappear. If you have ever loved someone who changed, or waited for someone who never came back, this poem will feel like your own story. It speaks about heartbreak, letting go, and finding the strength to keep praying and keep moving forward, even when your heart still remembers everything.
I wanted so much to stay in the arms of your love,
What changed in your ways The season itself changed.
Let the stones rain down, I endured it for your sake.
I forgot myself and scattered at your feet.
We had dreamed of living life with a vibrant heart, together,
The moment you changed, even my soul was wounded.
It’s been so long, I’m lost in the grip of your memories.
The signs of your footsteps that led to you have all faded away.
I will forget my fears and keep praying always for you
And if you couldn’t be mine, then I will learn to live life without you

before we go
Before we go, remember this — love changes, people change, and sometimes we have to let go, even when it hurts. This poem is a reminder that pain does not mean the end of hope. You can still pray, still heal, and still learn to live fully, even without the person you once dreamed with. Holding on to memories is human, but learning to walk forward is real strength.
