I think we've all had our ideals
You know that perfect womyn
The one that's made just for you
You meet and both fall in love
But as in life sometimes things don't work out
The reason's only known by the 2 of you
So you move on and life goes on
And you continue on life's journey
But there's a thread that you don't cut
Don't know if it's hope or just not being able to let it go
Because she was your ideal you see
The one that was made for you
So you still speak because first off you were friends
I mean you really try to keep it real
Keep a leash on the things you feel
And then one day you have that conversation
You know it's all at an end
Know you will never be lovers again
Know you can't be friends
There is no warmth in the words
As a matter of fact they've become very cold
Reaching this phase is no ones fault
Just the nature of the break up I'm told
So you come to that fork in the road
Where choices have been made
Where memories are just that
And to rest they must be laid
There will always be a spot for her
She was your dream you see
But actions caused the break up
Reasons you can't get beyond
So you write a piece like this
And even this won't tell the tale
Because thoughts and feelings are oh so intricate
You shed some tears and your heart sighs
And finally you say good-bye.....
It's called the art of letting go
And knowing when to fold
Knowing the things you can no longer hold
Knowing it's time to just...
LET IT GO*****
