Why does sadness surrounds me? br br Why are my eyes wet with tears? br br Why is joy absent from my heart? br br Why emptiness abides br br where there once was abundance? br br With each departure part of me departed br br part i can not retrieve br . br Gone forever in a basket br br were memories are gathered br br collecting dust and cobwebs. br br Revisited only by ponderings. br br When the heart is yearning; br br to touch, to hold, to see, to hear; br br the cry, the laughter, br br the yelling, the pleading, the silence. br Every you were you were redy to live br to go with your new found love, br to mouve to your new place, br to go away br br br i was happy for you br br just my heart was bleeding br br knowing it had to let you go br br to travel your own journey br br For i had my time br br and i did my best br br Now, i know you must do the rest. br br Your calling was stronger br br then my holding. br br And i don't want to cling br br i want you to have the best of everything.
