I️ think it finally hit you:

She was an ocean,

With white caped waves,

And hidden reefs,

And sandy beaches,

But you still let her go,

Thinking she was a palm tree,

Only one among billions,

And that is where you were wrong,

So when you left her,

For a skinnier palm tree,

I hope you had regret,

As deep as the ocean,

Because that is what she was,

And you still left.
