Sweet Amy….it’s now time
to set each other free…
For too long we have hurt
and chosen not to see
Running from each other
then standing face to face
Each day we hurt some more
here in this wretched place
You couldn't close your heart
I couldn’t let you go
We couldn’t cross the line
I guess we'll never know

"You write with an open heart, so rare and such a gem to behold, love and light, vie"
It seems you guys care for one another still, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I'm sure you hope the best for her, and her for you. I can only imagine the heartache, but tearing one another down does no good either. Good write, and God bless you x
