it dawned on me that it was time
for my hands to let go of what i really did not possess,
to grieve for a loss of someone who's heart i never owned
and understand in my heart that he will never be mine.


now, i know i was unwise
to play his games i can never win,
and use my heart in my foolishness,
i have to leave and look away.


and though i know it might cause the deepest pain
and leave my heart the deepest scars,
i have to leave and stand my ground
and pretend i do not hurt and look away...
just ... look away.


FOR: my friend Ileen ... I hope someday you'll learn to let go.

been there too..this sounds like the feelings I experienced in a similar situation some time ago..too long to mention but, I still think of her sometimes..strange how we just can't seem to say goodby to some people.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
