Letting Go

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don't really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must
The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears
Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God's best come your way
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.
