Love = Tears


from the ABC set Poems

Before everything, I was happy
Before everything, I smiled.
I loved you
And I knew you loved me.

But what we had could not go on
And it was only a matter of time.
Because of my love for you
I had to let you go.

My heart has never felt so heavy
And I don’t know how I will survive.
But God will lead me on
He will fill the void.

I love you more than life
But that was the problem.
Lying to myself wasn’t right
And it hurt to hurt Him.

I want you to know
That I will never forget you.
I love you so much
But God is calling me away.

You have done nothing wrong
This was a choice of mine.
I never meant to hurt you
And it kills me to see you cry.

Please go on
And live your life happy.
Know that I will always love you
I just can’t be with you.

This is what’s right
And someday we may see each other again.
In a better time
In a better place.

But for now I will think of you
And I promise to hold you in my heart.
This love was great
It just wasn’t godly.

I love you.
And that’s why I have to leave you.
