How Do I

gathered all my strength
As I withdrew from you
Finally made that commitment
So that we were through

Was fine for a day or two
Shortly after that it started to kick in
Asked myself  “did I lose my surface”?
Because what I am skating on is thin

See I try to fight the thought
But it seems that it’s too heavy
Should I have moved on?  
Because in reality you’re never really ready

I refuse to swallow my pride
Conditioning to this pain
Soon I will get use to it
And will be able to maintain 

But until then…
How do I get back on track?
How do I suppress this stressful feeling
When it constantly attacks

Always said I was gone let you go
Now I see easier said than done
Though now that I’m done
I lie alone feeling dumb

Now my whole attitude has changed
I’m currently thinking something new
Swore I was ready to leave
But see that I really want to be with you

Now I think I made a mistake
Whether your good for me or not
I just want to be with you
And I just want this pain to stop
BUT HOW DO I

Affairs of the heart are never easy. I can feel your pain and frustration. Maybe this other person feels the same way? Well, good luck my friend. Love, Shar
