things were BETTER THIS WAY :(

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend?
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don't really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must,
The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.


We have shared so much together
Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears,
Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.


I know one day you will be happy
And your soul mate you will find,
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now . . . only in our minds.


May life be gentle with you
May God's best come your way,
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.
