This Day Would Come

Here by day, gone by night, caused me chaos, caused me strife. Your body heat, the air you breathe; that's all I needed as your wife.....

We both knew this day would come....

For many nights we enjoyed all the gifts that we were given. Martial bliss; we were happy, we made this earth our heaven. Surviving all the nonsense that we were going through, Brought us closer to our destiny, our fairy tale come true.

But as the years went flying by, something very strange had happened. Instead of respecting each other's place, we hardly knew each other.

We ended up in separate rooms with separate lives. Something we said we'd never do. There were days that passed us by that I couldn't even talk to you.

"Let it go, this too shall pass, " people all around were saying. They only saw what we put forth and what we were displaying. But in reality, we fell apart, our marriage was decaying.

You come and go, you're hot then cold; you had me second guessing. When I reached in, you stepped out; I counted up our blessings. You're out of mind, you're out of sight; you're always up to something.

I can't keep up, it kept me down, this race to you was nothing. Here by day, gone by night, caused me chaos, caused me strife. Your body heat, the air you breathe; that's all I needed as your wife.

You pushing forward gave me courage, returning to me to life. I gained my self reliance and gathered up my strength. All these days of wondering if I was the only one, simply just prepared me for when this day would come.

Our stretch of time has reached it's limit, I'm trying hard to walk away. I know it's something I must do, but my heart would rather stay. Now all the years are creeping up on us, can you feel it too?

Years ago I'd call to ask you exactly what to do. But my patience has worn thin, my hope you can see through. Tomorrow's sunshine faded blue by this evening's interlude. No more sneaking around on me, no more back door rondevous. I've had all that I can handle, my share of circumstances. Broken promises and too many second chances. You chose where you go and who you're with, lately it's not been me. I must be strong and carry on this is very clear. Did you ever think my insecurities would be something that you'd fear? Can you see me now walk gracefully, my confidence regained? Part of me will leave today and part of me will stay. My heart is yours, will always be, this is the part that will remain.
