Free to Go

Maybe I made a mistake to let you go
because I seem too sad without you.
Yet I probably couldn't have stopped you anyway.
Still if I am sad while you are away
and you are happy to be away
it doesn't seem fair to ask you to come back
for no other reason then to insure my happiness.
And how could I find happiness while having a sad
women in my presence
and believing that I was somehow responsible
for her sad countenance.
So as I thought of your need for happiness
it gave me the strength to not beg you to stay.
Still never hesitate to call me if you
even need me in anyway.
You are free to go.

Wow JamesMichael, not wanting to her to go, but letting your feelings let her go, so that she will be happy with what she decided. Then the control of your permission with the last line.

Wonderful feeling James , Love is often one of the hardest things to work out, you in this piece have shown you are closer to knowing what it means to really love someone selflessly

I'll keep you in my prayers, I hope she reads and sees your plea -- for the offering is given unconditionally. LP
