Letting You Go

It's time to let go of what I've fought so hard for.

I've always hoped you were the one...

MY one and only.

The one I was supposed to spend life with,

NO MATTER the faults we both possess.

But, as I grow older, I realized for my self that life..it's not a fairytale,

That means, desires of the heart are meaningless..

That means..it's time to let go of what I've worked so hard for.

 

Sooner or later it would have come to this...

Sooner or later...this battle would have proved futile..

For all the right reasons, I presume.

 

I believe I'll always have some form of love for you...

But I know that this battle has indeed wounded me aswell...

I fought the wrong way, it seems..

And I guess retribution is taking place..

However, as painful as this is now,

I believe that God will take me through it.

 

Though I'm having some horrible thoughts and emotions filling me now,

I believe we all reap what we sow,

Therefore, I'll continue to reap during what seems to be a big harvest..

And when I've finished reaping...I shall greet what awaits me.

 

During this period; while I let go of you,

I shall rebuild the walls around my heart.

I'm going to prepare myself and up my defences once again,

As I've put them to rest once too often.

I continue to learn from my mistakes..

From my trials and tribulations...

From my fears..

I'm going to let everything go and live my life the way I should.

 

It's time to move forward..

It's time to give it up..

I asked for another level...and I surely got it.

Now to deal with my wish.

May my Lord help me with..letting you go.

if i've learnt anything from a lost love, it's this: there is always something better on the horizon and the supposed obstacles are not obstacles at all. they're stepping stones to get you where you want to be insofar that you don't think the pebble to be a boulder. at this point, i'd understand if relating to this is difficult, but i've been through the ringer myself, on the brink of life and death. somehow im breathing and happy and thankful for it all.

but i can definitely applaud that you're willing to let go of the situation, letting His perfect will be done. i'm glad you have decided not to fight and resist, but to go with the ebb and flow...life will unfold perfectly. just believe that He wishes that for you, but you must wish it for yourself...

First of all I amazed how many times you have changed your name. Why? I actually thought I lost touch with your poetry. I really enjoy your many styles and the insight to your self. The poem was wonderful and a must read. Sometimes we just have to let go of what we want because it is not really for us anyway.

*tear* A truly emotional poem for that have been there and those that have not. Letting go is difficult, but shows that you have strength. I have been there and I am there now in a way. Anyways, a great poem. I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end.

Honey...I've been there and reading this has brought back some woeful memories! All the tears and "Damn hims!" and wondering about my foolishness. You show a strength that suggests that you mean what you say and that you won't go down this road again. ;-)
