Kind Words Upon Our Divorce

Once, we had an unbreakable love
We used to fit like hand in glove
But for us, that has now turned sour
So here we face our final hour

I did this, you did that
Love grew thin and lies grew fat
Too late I changed and tried to heal
I couldn't accept that this was real

We built walls too high to climb
But I always thought they'd fall with time
Hard not to feel betrayal and rejection
I wasn't ready to go my own direction

We used to be each other's missing piece
But finally I accept, our love must cease
I've come to realize you must follow your heart
Ready or not new lives must start

I fell so hard for who you used to be
Hurts to know that's the you he gets to see
Sad to see it ends like this
We didn't even share one long, last kiss

I haven't prayed in fifteen years
But today I asked God to catch my tears
As you've said; everything happens for a reason
So I asked Him to help me weather this season

Above all else, I would like us to remember
How deeply we loved on that 30th day in December
I still have our picture tucked in my wallet
I don't look at it often, but I still recall it

So thank you for all you've said and you've done
And thank you for my beautiful daughter and son
Together we learned and hurt and grew
So forever a piece of my heart will belong to you.
