With two lives intertwined
for such a long time
it's not just a change of heart
that can bring them apart.
Emotions can be strong
when the heart has its season,
but when disquiet reigns long,
the mind begets reason.
In the frenzy of the break,
certain words are spoken;
these decisions we make
to heal a heart just broken.
Falsehoods were uttered
perhaps due to youth;
and now I still wonder
if I stated the truth.
For I feel in my mind
and it is echoed by the heart,
that the past must be behind
the future - spent apart.
Two doors have opened for us,
each leads a different way;
whether the paths will ever cross
is a question for a later day.
Our futures stand at arm's length,
the past is all but gone;
So summon all your inner strength
and recognize to move on.
