Next Lifetime…

I LOVE YOU…

but I gotta let you GO

You deserve nothing less than the stars

I can only provide a dream

and I know that’s just not enough

and it fills my eyes with tears

my heart with sorrow

but I know that tomorrow

the memories will begin to fade

and slowly you will begin to see what life is without me

and how much more easily your journey will be

not having to worry about me

because all I am is a fantasy

and even those must end

and as long as you enjoyed the time it will all have been worth it

so with heavy heart and salty eyes

I realize that I’m back in a dark place

I feared that I would never be

cold and lonely

a physical reflection of the failures of my spirit

I tried to hide away

and it is for that reason that I have to push you away

as I pray for my salvation and your redemption

all my love goes with you

as you begin anew

to begin to rebuild your life one piece at a time

I know that you do so and leave my memory in the past

because it has no place in your present

I expect that your heart will mend

one day to be given to a man more worthy than me to have it

and all that you ever could wish for will be granted and laid before you

because you DESERVE IT

you deserve better than a boy trapped in a man’s body

whose learning how to walk again for the first time

so little bird fly away and find your way

HOME

and perhaps we’ll find each other

in the next lifetime
