Chasing a Dream

Running out of time as the clock keeps 
ticking away
You hope you can change his mind and 
make him stay
It's only been a long fight keeping it 
together til now
Knowing all you've been through you ask 
yourself how
Blinded by false hope praying the past 
was the past
The wounds never heal while scars and 
memories last
Instead of facing his demons he runs thd 
other way
There's no way to stop time soon it will be 
another day
You are losing him and soon he will be out 
of sight
Determination is in your blood 
morning,noon,and night
He is on your mind all day long and in your 
dreams 
Trying to break this cycle is much harder 
than it seems
It is so hard to just give up,allowing him to 
slip away 
While the pain and determination get 
stronger everyday

Hi, The eternal 'Why' why should someone we love does not reciprocate. The more we try to hold on the more they want to move on. Then it is time for realism to enter the equation. Do not allow yourself to be hurt any longer. Recognise that in life we need to experience various things to mould our characters. Maybe the other person had fulfilled the necessary quota with you and you both need to move on to experience new ones during your lifetime. All the best to you. Regards, Theresa x
