Why is it so hard to let go?
Even when you really should?
You know that I've just wanted you to be happy,
Even though you hurt me so.

And so, I've come back, back to the place where I began
And I wonder, "Is it time again?"
Time to start over, and find a friend.

All I've ever wanted is your happiness
And I'm glad that you've found it
          (or so you say)
But it still hurts when you talk about her
Like you've forgotten me so quickly.

I put up the tree today,
And I thought that I was doing pretty well
Until I found the ornament that read, "Our First Christmas Together",
And it reminded me of happier times.

I know that you're happy,
And I'm happy for you
I just wish
That you were happy
                           with me.

moving on is a process that each must do at their own speed...we all heal and let go at our own pace...
you will find your new "happy" when your ready...
well written sincere poem ...
your emotions are felt ...
take care

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

Letting go and taking that first step to find your own happiness agian is never easy but there comes that time when you just have to reach out and go for it.  It can be a very scary thing but then again, so is living in the past.  This was a very heartfelt release from you my friend and I wish for you the happiness that you seek.  That new friend just may be what is in order.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

beautiful and honest poem from your
heart. your emotions showed thorough
clearly. excellent write. moving on
takes time and is a process that teaches
us many things and as we heal, something
amazing happens...our heart learns to love
again. here's hoping yours does. take

Passions,

    Realizing that life can move on and excepting that he has can be a hard thing.  I wish you all the luck in the world and the happiest of holidays.  Always remember there are other people who love you, and take comfort in that.

It's hard. . . you want what you feel you need. . . that's when you have to ask yourself the honest questions. . .

Very heartfelt. . .

Came back to add to my library.  Yeah, I know, sounds like and excuse...so maybe it is but it works doesn't it?  I have been waiting so long for one of your poems to hit the blue pages that I just had to re-read it.  Hugs again my friend.  Now, flash that pretty smile and go enjoy the smell of some roses.  

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.
