Answered Prayers

I'm free to let you go finally
my heart hasn't wanted to for a long time
it's held onto you
onto something that didn't belong
and wouldn't belong to me

I bowed my head folded my hands and prayed
"God? Tell me please,
is this what you have planned for me?
If this is what you have for me,
then find a way for it to work.
I'm giving it to you."
He came through and
I'm free
thank you

This is an answer to my prayers
never said that the answers didn't hurt
they sometimes do
but they come
just as this one did

I'm free to wash my hands of you
turn my back on any relationship
other than a friendship between us
we'll only ever be friends

*sighs*

Bows head folds hands and raise my voice up
"Thank you Father!
You always know what's best.
You are the one that has and will always
be right there beside me
never let me fall.
You will always look out for me.
I thank you,
for this peace you've given to me.
It washes over me over and over again.
Thank you again Father!
Amen."
