You

This heart I hold in my hand,

not crushed, but given back to me by you

still beats with strength,

and also a lot of love too.



One day it'll be put back in by someone

maybe even by you.

Sometimes it's like a feather, sometimes it weighs a ton,

but I have help carrying it.

Jesus is here too.



You think that you hurt me so bad,

but all you did was make me stronger.

I won't forget the chance I never had.

For you I'll hold it just a bit longer.



At least you let me go in one piece

with the utmost delicate care.

If your new love ever hurts you please

remember that I'm there...



You think that you hurt me so bad,

but all you did was make me stronger.

I won't forget the chance I never had.

For you I'll hold it just a bit longer.

Regardless of this, there is one thing I want

your friendship, so you know I'm never gone.

If you do this for me I won't push it or taunt,

because I love you enough to let you go,

but I still believe that you're the one.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The woman I love broke up with me today, but I am okay.  I will let her go her own way, but if she ever needs anything I will be there...
