I can smile now
Now I can breathe
My soul has stopped crying
I have no reason to grieve

It has been fun
and oh how I loved you so
But now I see the good
When you let me go

So now I can move on
and be on my own
God, help me on my journey
As I walk alone

I really liked your poem. Hopefully at some point I will be able to look back on it and soehow relate to it.Although it is I who let a loved one go, I do hope that on this journey I will be glad and not regretful. Does it take alot of time to ease this Pain?

Everything happens for a reason my friend, you are now able to see those reasons. . . fly now gentle bird, and take with you the lessons that you have learned. . .

I liked your poem.
It is a realization that I had also faced.
Sometimes it is better to walk alone. Good luck with all that lays upon the road ahead.
