Nov 2013
once upon a time
I loved a girl
I loved her more than the stars in the sky
More than the sand in the beaches
So I gave her my heart
She took it
Kissed it
And cut it in half
"To keep it near her all the days of her life"
But then she left
She took the half and gave it to a man
(His heart was also cut in half before
But now my half makes him full)
Anger swelled up for she gave another man my heart
But it is part of me
And because of that I felt his heart
Begging from me to let go
To Let go and let the woman I loved be loved by the man she loves. ......
I let go and wept
Wept from despair
Wept from joy
For though she is gone
She is happy
And that warms my half heart
Not all love stories have a happy ending
