Time For Letting Go

When it is time to move on ..it's time to move on. It's not easy but you have to love yourself and let go of that relationship that is no good for you. Don't you think?
I loved through what seemed to be passion, and tried to love through the pain
When my heart said it’s not right, I still held on in vain
They say use your head, not your heart, for the heart is weak and frail
But the head can’t be much wiser for it only rationalized every detail

Still my heart kept on nudging, how much more can you take
Till one day it finally hit me how much is at stake
And ‘twas not my head nor my heart that made the way for me
But the broken soul inside me that desires to love…to be free

I’m resolved to get through this, I know I dare not falter
But my strength seems to wither when I think of the "hereafter"
Yet hope rises within me at a glimpse of what could be
And I know I want nothing more than to escape this misery

Whoever said it would be easy to simply say goodbye
When you have opened your heart to someone, it takes a little more than just a try
I want and deserve much more than I’ve allowed myself these years
Now it’s time for me to love me and awake from this nightmare.
