It's been a long time in coming This is something though that I must do My heart has finally eased from the pain you caused It's time to say goodbye, but first I have some things to say to you Through the tears and heartache that you caused You also brought a smile to my heart It's with sadness in my heart today That I say farewell, and wish you a safe depart To think of what we once shared Brings a tear or two to my eye However we both have moved on I no longer question why You have no idea the impact you've had on my soul Perhaps our paths one day will cross again You are no longer my lover I'm not sure if you are still even my friend The heart has a way of holding on Much longer than it really should I knew from day one you and I wouldn't last I pretended though for as long as I could I have found love again This time much stronger than before I'm not running away from you though Just slowly closing the door I want this to end on a good note Please do not hold this against me We both know we've been on borrowed time That this had to end, couldn't go on endlessly I wish you happiness Pray that you honestly find love that is true Maybe in years to come, you will see me again Right now though I must say this soft goodbye to you You've enriched my life for the better Sounds funning knowing the pain we went through Though many never understood the concept of us We both always knew Your games just caught up with us I don't blame you, if that is what you think Time just forced me to make a decision I know you think you lost me with just a blink If you're honest with yourself though You'll know I tried with all my heart and soul I couldn't fix the pieces of you that were broken I did try though to make you whole I've never been good at goodbyes In fact I usually don't say them at all You deserve to hear the words from me though Not to be encountered with a cold wall Goodbye friend, lover, the things you were once to me Take good care of yourself, these words from my lips flow I pray that tomorrow when you wake up without me in your life These words will help cushion the blow "you can't stop the rain from pouring down can't stop the world from turning 'round can't stop me from loving you no matter what you do [This message has been edited by Aimster (03-25-2002 09:15 PM).] |

Parting is the sweetest sorrow indeed. I can't imagine this was easy to write as it was hard to read. But through it all I read your sincerity and good intentions. My heart aches a little ache for you, and I hope you find your peace. |

Ah Aimster, this is gently softening the blow, but a blow nevertheless.... |

Amy, a very beautiful and soft way of saying goodbye. There is no easy way, but this has been written with such a gentle tone, it should help to soften the blow. Hugs sweetie. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Amy, this is so sad but beautiful, sweet friend, I know how hard it must be to say goodbye and you have expressed it so maturely and understandingly! (sigh) I hope now this burden is off your chest and now true love welcomes you each new day with a smile! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Amy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
