letting you go

it's so hard to let you go my friend, we been through so much together, but it's time for us to move on.
When you first called me you said you was going to win my heart and never let me go. I am sorry to say, I was not the person you painted.
I have too many problems and people to take care of for you to be with me. They came first and you came second, and that is how we believe, because they will always be there, and other people come and go.
I have children with deep scars from past abuse, and I can't take the chance of trusting my childrens life to anyone else. I am so afraid for there safety most of the time, and I think sometimes its unhealthy, on that same note, how protective is protective. I can't bring my self to trust any one with my children.
During our time together you told me you wanted children, and I did too. we lost one to miscarraige, and then my dr. says you are going into menopause, mine and your dreams were shattered to pieces, it made no sense to keep on with our barely together relationship.
half way through our relationship you cheated on me, with a person who was supposed to be close to me. My trust of you plummeted not once but twice, if you were checking her out, what about my other children were they safe? This alone should make me run and never return. But I returned in hopes that our relationship would flower again. It didn't , I had to much anger and mistrust to keep on moving fwd. I am so sorry for my part in the break of our relationship, but with out trust there is no relationship.
towards the end we both turned into two strangers. Each one not knowing where this other person was at the beginning of the relationship. I tried so many ways to make it back to the person I was before, the cheating, and then I tried to accept the two different people we had become, then I tried creating a new me, and none of it worked to change my mind about my trust of you.
The last days of our relationship was horrible, I couldn't stomach the way you looked at me with such disgust and I seemed to just get on your every nerve, and you couldn't even stand to be around me any more.
And then we finally broke up, I sent you to stay at your mom's. These were the lonliest days of my life, I got angry, went numb for many days, and then one day I just broke down and cried my heart out to you on the phone, you listened quietly, as I hung up the phone with my final goodbye.
Although it wasn't our final goodbye, we have a lot of areas to clear up, you have to come to the house and pick up your belongings, and I have to get some items that belong to me also, but thank goodness we are leaving our relationship with a Kiss and saying goodbye. Just like that ol time song.
I will always love you, but we are two different people who are going in two different directions. I hope all goes well in your life and you find the woman of your dreams. i hope for your true happiness. Peace. Love and a sound mind. This is what i pray for you. I love you and I am letting you go.
