You love her because you see she needs saving. And when you have spent yourself to the point of no return, only to realize she really doesn’t want to be saved ………… then what?

You pull away continuing the war within. As you pull away you also watch her begin to break, yet again calling to that need inside your soul, well whom then really needs saving ?

Her……? You……? Both…….?

Then there is HER she does not need rescuing, she is her own HERO after all. The only thing she wants is to love with the purity of it all and that is what calls ou to the depths of your heart. She smiles as she lets you go yet still somehow manages to hold on at the same time. HER walk is guided and steady but you are aware that she is lost within you.

You cannot let go of either but the reasons are worlds apart.

SHE will never ask you to Choose but her heart begs you to stay.

she will plead with you to stay but there is always something tugging you away…….

As you reflect upon these thoughts know to take action,

The war within will never be won by standing still!

It is won by becoming FREE!!!!
