like the seasons ~
feelings change…. so it seems
or at least for some
how they feel for another
can go from once being hot
to the frigid cold
and so it may be with you and me
or at least for one of us
who wants to say goodbye
but for some reason just can’t
maybe to save face
I don’t know for sure
all I know is feelings have changed
I feel I have been judged… labeled
put out in the cold
sentenced to do time
out in the proverbial pergola
which due to conditions
is not fit for survival
until I give up and then walk away
it has been said ~ “if you love something,
let it go… If it comes back to you,
its yours forever. If it doesn’t,
then it was never meant to be.”
I don’t believe that to be true….
if you love someone
you never want to let go….
your intent is to keep trying
you don’t let judgments
and the assigning of labels
get in the way
ruin what you have
never able to look past
imperfections
be able to forgive
if you stay true to your heart
despite what happens
in the end
no questions
remain unanswered
you know you gave it your best
but that’s me ~ it may not be you
if so…. just say goodbye
’cause I never will
if you want to walk…. walk
I can learn to live with
“it was never meant to be.”
as far as how you see it
like the seasons ~
feelings change…… so it seems
