REBECCA

I did what I had to do

To survive and to  live

It was so hard to let you go

I am trying to forgive

I learned from the experience

The inner child still cries

Why did this have to happen?

Why did I keep the lies?

Sometimes I really wonder

What is life all about

I get so many answers

But most of them I doubt

At night I look out my window

I look up to the sky

I wonder when and how a person

Knows that they must die

There are so many things

That life has show

So many things

That a person should know

In life's games

They say the strongest will survive

I don't really believe it to be true

You died so that I could strive.

I've been told

"Not to sweat the small stuff"

If they only knew the situation

To know that would be rough

I often wonder

If they were in my shoes

Would they do the same?

Would they choose to lose?

Whenever I think of you

I will have joy in my heart

Your pain and suffering is over

Now my battle must start

You always felt the things

That I wanted to hide

Only you truly knew

What I felt deep down inside

The past will always effect me

The many tears and feelings of un-love

My heart will never forget you

When I look to the heavens above.

The truth is finally out

Which is worse the pain or the trust

Constantly I have my doubt

But trust we must.

I can't believe it happened

That now you're gone

How were we to know

We weren't in the wrong

Although we didn't have much time

Know that you hold the secrets to my heart.

I love you so much

Why did we have to part?
