I love you. I feel I have loved you forever. No matter how much I love you, I am left with the feeling that I have to go.

I have no idea where I am going, but I know I have to do this. Know that I tried very hard to stay. Know that you are my one and only. I will miss you. I love you. I always will. Goodbye.

Goodbye taught me that people do not always stay and the things that belonged to you today can belong to someone else tomorrow.

I have said Goodbye multiple times. I am used to letting go, and moving on. I will eventually forget someone, not remembering anything about them. It is not feelings of anger or revenge.

I know individuals do not stick around. I consider every encounter a lesson and a transformation.

If I really take these lessons seriously and change my behaviors, I will be able to offer something better …

And so I find myself asking: Which takes precedence, Love or life? This is a hard call. At one extreme I might sacrifice life for Love. At the other extreme I might sacrifice Love for life.

Most of you make romantic decisions that fall somewhere between these poles.

It is the strength of Love, the nature of life, and the degree of conflict between them, which dictate exactly where you wind up on that continuum.

A lover can not be blind to life, and Love does not always win. In any case, Love can not replace life.

When Love and life go head-to-head, Love always loses, especially when it is based on intense desire.

In the long run, it is only when lovers nurture the connection between themselves and do all the things which enable each other to flourish that Love is maintained and enhanced.

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, 
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, 
in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, 
but now it’s come to distances and both of us must try, 
your eyes are soft with sorrow, 
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye.

I’m not looking for another as I wander in my time,
walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme 
you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, 
it’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, 
but let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie, 
your eyes are soft with sorrow, 
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye.
