Good Bye

You never saw this coming did you now?
You thought that you could have it all somehow.
But love won’t come if you’ve got one to spare.
There’s only one or you don’t even care.

It’s funny, after all that I’ve been through-
And suffered in the name of loving you,
The words I thought would give the greatest grief
Instead have given me the most relief.

No longer will I go out on a limb.
I’m laughing at you stuck in life with him.
It’s quiet a shock, and yet it shouldn’t be…
Your ax ain’t getting near this giving tree.

John H. Bidwell

It seems a shame that love's lessons must come at the price of such pain. But then, how would we recognize the real thing otherwise?

Amazing how that works sometimes, John.

The hardest thing in the world sometimes is to watch somebody we've grown to care about, make the same life mistakes over and over. There does come a time though when we have to step away, and let them fall on their own. It hurts us as much or more than it does them, but we aren't helping if we are their crutch.
Just remember, they own their pathways, they've made them and are walking them..It's not up to us to sweep every pebble from beneath their feet.
I know you're hurting..but you too will mend. I'll keep you in my prayers.
