Sometimes it feels like there is a HUGE wall
S E P A R A T I N G us;
keeping us from talking and touching
the way lovers should.
At times we have trouble
communicating our feelings
to each other but,
usually,
the only things in the way
are the words...

********************************************

Before your LOVE
I knew nothing of happiness.
Before your EYES
I knew nothing of truth.
Before your TRUTH
I knew nothing of pain.
Before your TOUCH
I knew nothing of feeling.
Before your SMILE
I knew nothing of of love...
Before your LOVE
I knew nothing...

One Foot in the Past

What do you say
When love fades away?
How do you take back
The promises you made?
When is the 'right time'
To tell him that you're through?
You've done all that you could,
Now there's nothing left to do...

You have one foot in the past
And the other out the door,
How are you gonna tell him
You just don't love him anymore?
"To love and to cherish"
Doesn't mean much anymore
When you've got one foot in the past
And the other out the door.

So, how are you gonna tell him
That the past is dead and gone?
How are you gonna convince him
That it's time to be moving on?
Do you break it to him gently,
And hope he feels the same?
How can you defend
A decision you can't explain?

You've got one foot in the past
And you're heading out the door
And you know you have to tell him
That you don't love him anymore...
When "To love and to cherish"
Doesn't mean what it did before
You need to break from the past
And walk on out the door...

********************************************

Letting Go

Someday I hope you will understand
I did what I thought was best
Sometimes life gets too difficult
And decisions are made
That don't make sense,
That break your heart...

I never wanted this to happen
I never thought it would come to this...
Now I find myself fighting
to hold you
and be your mother
As only I know how to be...

Sometimes the simplest things escape me...
It's the simple things
I miss the most...
Helping with homework,
A victory kiss
For a job well done,
Sharing the ups and downs
That are a normal part
of everyday life...
Or just talking quietly
At the end of the day...
God, how I ache for those little girl
Hugs and kisses

Someday I hope you will understand
I did what I thought was best
And I pray you forgive me
For not being more independent
For letting you down
And for not being there
Just when you needed me most.
I pray you will understand
I pray you will forgive
I pray you will know that I did it
FOR YOU
and not because of you...
My babies,
I love you more
Than you will ever know
I love you enough
To let you go
