• How do you walk away from someone you love
    And take the road of friend;
    Can you reroute the course you have taken
    And start over once again?

    I don't really want to let you go
    But inside me I know I must;
    The times we've loved . . . the times you've left
    My heart says stay . . . but it's my mind I must trust.

    We have shared so much together
    Laughter . . . fun times . . . tears;
    Yet sometimes we can't turn back time
    We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

    I know one day you will be happy
    And your soulmate you will find;
    I know we each have one out there
    Even if for now . . . only in our minds.

    May life be gentle with you
    May God's best come your way;
    And on some quiet tomorrow
    You will realize things were better this way.
