Honesty About Loosing Love Slam No Blame No Fault

It was a long time ago
as this story lends

In my late 20's when i dated Nicky
if you could call it that

And I drove a claped out VW Beatle
can't even remember if i had a job

But i looked great in a white tailored shirt i was buff and in my prime at this time

But she had a child and though the passion was wild and we were a good looking couple

She needed and wanted more than that
and honestly in my heart of heart's i think i always new and understanded that

But it still took a long time getting over
when she left me and moved on

But for me what was heartbreaking was for and the baby the best

Because a mother has to do what's best and sometimes that supersedes love 

Maybe that's why i still miss her and love her

But i am sure she is better off without me

How do you know that? I would look into it, maybe. Love will arrive when you least expect it Flaherty. Usually after one has looked deep into oneself ... first and sorted themselves out, to love themself first. Just my humble a'ssd opinion. Lovely, bittersweet, reminiscing. x
