For The Best



He had always felt confident and strong;
But she was now ready to move on.
Insecurity is something he had never known;
But now he was feeling weak and alone.

Everyone continued to say,
"It is for the best".
Filled with dismay ,
He began to protest.

Words of sadness rushed from his lips.
It was the end of their relationship.
The romance was over; it was too late.
Nothing he could do would alter his fate.

Sometimes, it's best to step away,
And give time a chance to speak.;
Separations don't heal in a day.
It takes time to stand on your feet.
