Misdirection

 

I wanted so badly to not be alone –

To find my perfect love,

The one my God had promised me.

I longed for my happily ever after.

I never doubted he was out there.

I knew my God would deliver.

But how much longer must I wait?

What if I missed the signs?

Instead of listening, I searched.

Instead of finding the one,

I found one who would do.

I made myself believe you would change.

I’d never really find perfect anyway –

You were close enough,

Right...?

Now my heart is breaking.

By not listening to what is True,

I have drawn away from that

Which I once faithfully followed.

I don’t regret the love I’ve given,

I only wish it didn’t have to end like this.

I’ve given you a part of myself –

Something you can never return

We’ve become so close

Saying goodbye will never have been so tough.

I fear you will not understand.

Hurting another has never hurt so much.

My heart would not be as broken

If I could just absorb your pain.

Please forgive me…
