The Hardest Thing I Had To Do...

I walked a way
Head up
Heart sunk
Into the pit of my stomach
And
Heartache was an understatement
But I was courageous
Walking away from a love that took no chances

You
Always wanted to play it safe
So you safely choose the alternative
Not me
And I see clearer now
The way you felt when I protected my heart
From your choices
Poor in my opinion
But learning love lessons
No better feeling

Now
Giving him
What I wanted to give to you
Taking back
All that was lost in you
Yet sometimes I feel
You were the best in love
And sometimes
It's still hard to let go of what was
Yet I have to know where true love lies
In the arms of the man who LONGS to be by my side
Not just here for the ride
Willing to accept a portion of my stride
My walk
You and I
Unaligned

I see the vertical perspective
I have horizontal references
And you perpendicular
To what life demands
Scared to accept all things not perfect
Bending over backward to make her SEEM
Worth it
But you can't force it
Love
And when it is meant it last a life time
But when it matures
It builds soul tides

Learning in love
Hurts
But it is the hardest thing I had to do
And now
IN LOVE
I loose the grasp of you
I take back the key
And close the portal to
Possibility with anyone
Like you...
