After All This Time of Being On My Own

After all this time of being on my own

I’ve been  going through things 

Over and over again in my mind

And I keep wondering 

If there was anything 
that I could’ve done

To prevent everything 

From going so wrong

So that I could’ve turned 
things back around

Because I thought you were the one

And that’s why I kept holding on

But after all this time 

That has come and gone

I had to learn 

How to get back up again

After falling down so many times

And hurting like I had been

But you know one thing that it has done

After getting through all the confusion

It has made me a stronger person

And if I do have to spend the rest of my life

Being on my own and all alone

Without anyone else around

I know in my mind that I’ll be just fine

Because at least I can say 
that I was  able to love someone 

Completely and more deeply 
then I had ever loved anyone

Yes, Dean...you have done all the right things, and have hoped to turn everything around and make a brand new start. We can only look back with regret, but we must face life with a new insight. You have loved that special someone and given of yourself. You have been given a gift, use it to your advantage. You can change your outlook on life. Hope never dies! Smile and keep on writing. Best Wishes, Andrew.
