Conflict Between Heart and Mind

I told you I had to go 
The words I spoke were true 
but I forgot to tell this heart of mine
Now it won't stop loving you .

What we shared was great while it lasted
but it was time for it to end 
I truly was delighted
We were able to part as friends.

I felt a genuine smile within my mind 
When I saw you with your new man 
but from the aching deep inside 
I knew my heart just didn't understand.

Now I have a conflict between my heart and mind
and before the healing process can begin 
I must undergo a torrid time 
This is one battle my mind must win .

I can't stop my heart from loving
To do so would be unkind 
So I must find a way to stride the hurdles
My heart places before my mind.

You know I wish you all the best 
May your every dream come true 
A corner of my heart will always
Be reserved for you.
