Open Window

Some dreams aren't meant to be forgotten

Sometimes the pain is better left unspoken

I won't forget you even though I've been taken for granted

I'm not leaving this relationship empty handed

I know how to love, I now know how to heal from the hurt

Seeking the truth leaves the heart with a void full of dirt

So its best to let everything go and let the tide wash away the sorrow

All memories and the possibilities of a you and a me

Life's an open window and I've just started to look outside

No more a great divide between you and living my life

I see opportunity to be a happy me, I just might take the leap

Run out and breathe, feel free even though I miss you there

Jump fences and take chances, maybe that's what I was missing

The ability to run and never stop believing in my own capability

I finally see my reflection and i'm not afraid to be me

Very wise and beautiful poem though it holds a hint of meloncholy.
Many people will come and go. Take the lessons you can use, remember the mistakes you made, dust yourself off, and try again. Good poem.

Each relationship we have during our lifetimes teaches us something. Unfortunately, sometimes the lesson is a painful one. It seems you have learned something important after this one....take chances. Leap....the safety net will appear when it is needed. I enjoy your work. Lydi**
