Turned on the radio
And heard the song
It reached for me and told me how I felt
Now that you were gone
How in my heart I held the words to say
To make you stay
But not a word did I utter

It doesn't matter now
What's done is done
One can only learn from their mistakes

I don't wish for what could've been
I've let the tears flow
Then let it all go
And moved on to other things
I'd like to tell myself that the end justifies the means
But the end hasn't come yet
And I have no way of knowing if the risk I took will pay off
So all I can do is have faith
And go on
Now that you are gone

"The only love there is, is the love we make."--Prince

I've let the tears flow
Then let it all go
And moved on to other things
I'd like to tell myself that the end justifies the means
But the end hasn't come yet

The end can be a long time coming,
There are days when I don't want to
put on a happy face, but the other option would drive me half mad.....So I turn up the music and sing along.      *shrugging*

Oh, this was very good!

Very nicely written, JK.
"I don't wish for what could've been

Sigh, sometimes that's all we can do.

We all need faith to believe in second chances, and if we truly learn from our mistakes, we don't make them twice! Sad but hopeful piece J.K.

It's all part of the journey.  Sometimes something has to leave, before something else can arrive.  

But...it feels like the heart's lottery version of "Let's Make A Deal!!"
