Sometimes





Sometimes...in our lives

we are led to be with a certain person

Sometimes...is forever

Sometimes...is not.



Sometimes...the pain is too great

and we cannot continue

without a part of us dying inside

and then the breakup happens

and a part of you dies anyway.



Sometimes...I feel I am strong

and I see this as all part of growing,

everything is given life; therefore;

everything must die.



Sometimes... I feel not so brave

and I want to hold onto you forever

to hold so tight that I never let go

But I do not own you

and I never could hope to try.



Sometimes...I cannot help

feeling lost and

afraid to be alone

but then you are there

and help me to see that its okay.



Sometimes...I feel so brave and strong

that I want to run through the streets

shouting "hey look at me, look at me"

and you are there for me then too.



Sometimes...I wish to feel you

right here beside me

when I reach for you in the night

but I know that is in God's control, not mine.



Sometimes...I just know

everything will be alright.
