It is that time
to throw in the towel,
not because you may think
that there is anger in this heart of mine

there is no anger,
nor reason to harbor it
on either side
but rather, there is the voice of reason
that resides in the knowledge that
no fault stands; it leans not towards your side
or mine.

It is the simple acceptance
that moments pass by

we live

we grow

and sometimes it is simply

time


to move on.




You block your dream when you allow your fear
to grow bigger than your faith~ Mary Manin Morrissey

no fault...
yes, when two do not go forward as one
perhaps
it is time

My thanks to you each.  For some reason? That old song that goes "there ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys, there's only you and me and we just disagree" {Dave Mason} is stuck in my head today.  Thanks much for listening to the vent.

sometimes though..the simple kowledge is sad enough as is.. without anger or the drama.. time to move on is often hard in its own way...

well done ma'am... your words and your style have evolved a good deal since I was here before..and I must say, I like the change

Agree...as I have said before, every relationship has a beginning, a dance, and an end...only the spiritual body is forever...James

Some are simply too afraid to do what they know they should and simply sit by coveting pity for their inabilities...

But you speak too wisely for that Donna!
