You may wonder
How my heart can soar
Even though I say
I will love no more.
Is it difficult to comprehend?
This is the beginning, not the end.
Gather 'round me, those I cherish
My family, my friends
(loves that don't perish)!
I am, at last, at peace.
I smile, and remember
When I see
Those in love, like I used to be.
I have loved before-
Breathless, intense;
There goes my brains
And my common sense!
I am, at last, safe.
My heart can't take
One more surprise
As I gaze into my liar's eyes
Forsaking myself to compromise.
So please don't think
That I am missing
Tender hugs
And passionate kissing.
I am, at last, content.
My life took another direction
My kids, my pets-
Plenty of affection!
True happiness and joy surround me
Peace and harmony finally found me!
I am, at last, accepted.
We can't always see the distant shore-
But by choice, for now,
I will love no more.
