Letting Go And Moving Forward by Terrie*

today was the last of the days
that I chose to remove your belongings
that I was too reluctant to part with

as I went thru each and every item
tears coming down my cheeks my hands shaking so bad
each item I picked up I caressed and hugged

wating for it to hug me back.
every letter I've written to you brought chills down my spine
it was then that I realized that .

I had packed your belongings in a way
as if I was expecting you to come back
well it was this month many years ago

that we often met after work at that little pub down by my job
as I returned there today. I knew you were not going to be there
I just wanted to get the last feel of the laughter the tears the fears

that we both battled and helped us come up strong
the many times you held me up
when I was not able to handle one more death or one more illness,

you always carried me thru,
I ask myself many times just as before,
how am I gonna manage living life without you.

I didn't think,
that I would fall in love again
because there was only one of you.

I didn't think that no other man
could compare or stand up to who you were
and what you are and what you meant to me

my lonely heart has cried for too many years
and my lonely heart has fallen in love
for the second time around

I know you will still
be there to protect me from any harm.
you knew me more than I knew myself

you doctored my wounds
you healed my heart aches.
I know you'll still love me from where you are,

I know you were only hanging around
because I held you back
and i made it difficult for you to move on

as I always needed someone protecting me

if I allow you to finish the journey you started long ago?
will you allow my love to continue with someone else?

i promise to devote my love to him as I once did for you?

Excelent!
Letting go and moving forward may be hard, but, there is another chance at love.....I'm pretty sure your late husband will be proud to see you happy, and will understand why your heart is so damp------from crying..... I hope you find that special someone.....

God bless you!
