Coming Back

Every time I look into your eyes it's so hard to decide.  I don't know what I see there
anymore it use to be easy because there was nothing there so see because the love you had
had for me was suddenly empty.  Now I'm hearing though that it's coming back and I just
don't understand I'm not feeling that. I know they way it use to feel when you would look
at me and i was the only person that you'd see.  But you told me that your love had faded
and that we should break up so there'd be no hatred.  I didn't understand at the time you
were my world my soul mate or so I thought.  I just don't understand what made you change
your mind because you were with her for a long time.  I don't know if I'm suppose to be
you're rebound or if you truly believe your soulmate in me you found.  i don't understand
if it's just for our son be because if it is this battle will not be won.  I thought that
we both realized how different we were which was why you decided to be with her.  I
believe you need to try and figure this out because it's not just my heart we are talking
about. Our son is older now and he understands this time you will have both our hearts
laid on your hands

It's so sad when a man leaves his family, hurting you like this, Rachel. There is a broken trust involved in this breakup and if you do decide to get back together, I hope your son's heart (as well as yours) will not be broken again. Hope you'll take your time figuring out what is best for you and your son. Wishing you well, Carolyn
