I choose not to change my heart.
I will not push a love away.
I do not care if you approve.
It's not your business anyway.

The bitterness you choose to feel
is not the way I wish to live.
And even if my heart's not free--
It still is mine, and I choose to give.

It takes courage to make such choices, I hope that this brings you happiness. Thanks for sharing.

Well you are definitely all "woman", you are independent, and strong. You go girl, don't let anyone do your thinking for you!

I agree, kid. Leave the bitterness to others...it suits them better. It's your life and you have the right to live it your way with no 'scuse me's
