I can't let myself focus anymore
on what you are doing wrong
I'm staying centered on myself
because I've felt lost for way to long.

It's not that I don't love you
It's not that I am right
It's because I love you so
that I'll no longer fight


I'm afraid I'm losing sight
of the person inside of me
I've been working so very hard
maintaining individuality

It's not that I don't care for you
It's not because I am right
It's because I've loved you so
and would rather seek the light


I would bring you from the darkness
if you would accept this love so pure
but healing begins from within
we find our own internal cure.

It's me that's always loved you most
I've given all I have to give
If you can't see the stars at night
It's because you refuse to live


I love you even more now
than I did back then
but I can't forget about the "me"
and I can't quit believing again.

So take the love I once gave you
and walk away, my friend
I loved you once, you had the best
But it's better that we end.


Gentle Spirit and Sunshine

Karilea, thank you for the pleasure to write with you again. This was truly a delight for me.  HUGS

Thanks, Toe.  I thought it sounded a bit like a song, myself, so perhaps we can get one of our musicians to put it to music, y'think?

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

This sang itself right alone!
Enjoyed this and agree it could be a blues
song or perhaps a country song!
Enjoyed the read,
