State of constant confusion!

How can I say good-bye
Now that I've loved you so long?
Just turn and walk away
Like there is nothing wrong?
When all the while
My world is crumbling around me
How do I contain these tears
When the pain is just so great?
Tell my mind not to think of you
My heart not to break?
When so many things remind me of you
Everywhere I turn I see
Tell me how I learn to live again
When I lived my life for only you
Tell me why things ended up like this
Was it something I did or didn't do?
The only crime I'm guilty of
Is truly loving you
And now I've been sentenced to
The worst punishment anyone ever knew

Forced to live life without you
And it's the highest price I'll ever pay

***************************************

Darling, This all started out so innocently and we chose to pursue it farther. I think we both knew how it would end but were afraid to admit it to ourselves, much less each other. We both new up front the situation that both of us were in but falling in love with you was inevitable. It wasn't my choice to love you, it was my destiny. I'm writing this to say this one thing to you.

No matter where life takes us or what roads we find ourselves on I will never regret loving you. I know I got lucky because I had the chance that everyone dreams of and that is to find true unconditional love. Yes, I know you love me and I know that you have certain obligations that you need to fulfill before you can begin to move any further. I am in no way upset with you or angry with you. If anything I am disappointed in myself for putting pressure on you when I promised I never would. I hope that at some point in your life you will find it in your heart to forgive me. In any case I wish you all the best that life has to offer. Your happiness was all I ever wanted. As long as you are happy there's no way that I can't be happy. Remember one thing wherever you may be...I will always love you.

In writing this a song comes to mind that describes my feelings perfectly.....

"I Will Always Love You"

If I should stay I know
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bittersweet memories are all I have
And all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, ohh, please don't cry
Cause we both know I'm not what you need

But I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life will treat you kind
And I hope you have all that you ever dreamed of
Ohh, I do wish you joy and I wish you happiness
But above all this I wish you love
(I love you)
(I will always love you)

Jeffrey, I know this wasn't to me, but I think it was a beautiful tribute and had to tell you that I empathize, and hope you feel better soon.

Any woman would be thrilled to receive these words, Jeffrey, they are from the heart, and one that shines!

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Sandra, Thank you for the well wishes...I'm sure I'll feel better...eventually  

Kathleen, I'm afraid the shine has been dimmed by the cracks that are there now , but I appreciate the gesture

Guess I can chalk it up to another lesson learned!

Jeffrey, sadness felt from your words, yet I hope she knows how very special a place she holds in your heart. There's something about love it's not a choice thing it just happens. Hugs to you

Jeffrey...

this was a very touching and moving
tribute...we do not choose who we fall
in love with...it's as you say, "fate".
i am so sorry that things did not work
out for you and her. you will be in my
thoughts and prayers as you heal. take
care.
