Goodbyes  |  Cos
Its been weighing on my mind, dear
for days and weeks gone by
the way you hardly notice me
there's no sparkle in your eye

Somewhere along the line I
lost your love for sure
I wish I knew how to get it back
but its just too late for any cure

Cos you don't love me anymore
its been made all too clear
you don't love me anymore

there's nothing for me here

I have to let you go
I know its for the best
I cant make you love me
somehow I failed the test

It pains me to the core
the tears flow from my eyes
it rips my heart apart
yeah, I was never much good at goodbyes

Who could ever blame you?
Surely never me
I always will love you, dear
my true love you'll always be

So onward I will go
I'll live my life again
I'll go on without you
but never without this pain

There is no other for me
but I hope somewhere someday
you will find someone
who's heart can make you stay

Cos you don't love me anymore
its been made all too clear
you don't love me anymore
there's nothing for me here

I have to let you go
I know its for the best
I cant make you love me
somehow I failed the test

It pains me to the core
the tears flow from my eyes
it rips my heart apart
yeah, I was never much good at goodbyes.

Dani, Yes, it does take good communication to make a marriage work. It seems more difficult for men than women to communicate effectively. Many times they become aggressive rather than using assertive communication with active listening. I do wish you every happiness. I would love to stay in touch and know how your merger goes, although I don't want to pry. God bless you. Have a Merry Christmas, Dear. ~Wilma

Dear Wilma: We feel very blessed that our children all get on so well together. When we are apart we all webcam, email, talk by phone, play online games together, etc. This includes the extended family as well. He has sole custody of 2 and joint custody of the other three. I have sole custody of my one. We are grateful for how smooth the transition has been to this point. We know there will be challenges ahead, but are both committed to getting through them together and making this work. We have learned that love is not enough: you have to be willing to work your tailfeathers off and give unselfishly continually (and communicate, communicate, communicate *SMILE*). He truly is the answer to many years of tearful prayers; and while I certainly don't deserve so great a blessing, I am not one to complain (my momma didn't raise no fool *GRIN*). Funny thing is he feels the same way about me. *SMILE*.

Great attitude. Much luck to you also. That is quite a "merger". At least you will have time to consider all the aspects of married life with 6 boys before Summer 2007. Does your intended have custody of the other 5? ~Wilma

Thank you so much for the kind words, again! I really appreciate it. As for me and handling all the boys, well, I do have my own supersoaker and supply of silly string: so there ya go! *GIGGLE* Best wishes now and always; as well as many wishes for a happy and safe holiday season ~Dani

Oh my goodness...from 1 son to 6. What a change! That will be quite a house full. I hope you are energetic enough to keep up with that many. I know from rearing my children that they can be a handful...especially boys. And 5 of them not being yours biologically. That will take some adjustment on everyone's part. I wish you all the luck and happiness you surely deserve. I hope your fiance' is worthy of you. You sound very special to take on such responsibilities as that. Have a merry Christmas and happy New Year, Dear. ~Wilma

Thank you, again, Wilma, for your kindness. I generally do write from my life, but in this case, my true love DOES love me very much. *SMILE* We are to be married Summer 2007, when I will go from being mother to one teenaged son, to mother of 6 sons aged 4-16! *GRIN* I can't wait!!! Wishing you health and happiness as well, ~Dani

Very poignant poem. Goodbyes are difficult, but necessary. It is not always you who are lacking in the situation. Consider the reason why you need to say goodbye. The deficit can be in the individual you are saying "goodbye" to.
