I don't think in my entire life I've ever felt this alone...and there are people surrounding me everywhere. I never saw it coming, not in a million years. And I can try to study it away, work it away, clean myself into oblivion just so it doesn't feel real anymore and still none of that changes the fact that it is beyond a shadow of a doubt real... and it's wrong. I want to fight it...I did fight it. Harder than I've ever fought for anything in my life I fought for him. He acknowledges that. But sometimes fighting...even fighting the hardest you can....still doesn't change the facts. Eventually, I had to bow out gracefully. So what did I gain by fighting? I question it to myself and think I've come to a conclusion....no regrets. There's nothing I could have done differently....nothing I would've wanted to do differently. He won't read this....actually, I don't know for sure if anyone will read this. But it's here. I typed it for me. I think I'll write him a letter. I've done that before and never have I actually delivered those letters...but this time I might. I had never had the strength before, but somewhere along the way he taught me where to find that strength. I love him for that and a million other reasons. Maybe someday he will want that back... maybe not. God only knows...and God's plan is best. You could be happy, I won't know But you weren't happy the day I watched you go And all the things that I wish I had not said Are played in loops til it's madness in my head Is it too late to remind you how we were Not our last days of silence, scream and blur? Most of what I remember makes me sure I should have stopped you from walking out that door You could behappy, I hope you are You made me happier than I've been by far Somehow everything I own smells of you And for the tiniest moment it's all not true Do the things that you always wanted to Without me there to hold you back don't think just do More than anything I want to see you go And take a glorious bite out of the whole world. ~Snow Patrol You can love someone with all your heart For all the right reasons And tomorrow they might choose to walk away Love them anyway... ~Martina McBride Funny how sometimes lyrics can say things you didn't even realize you wanted to say. |
