THANKS FOR LEAVING

It was a cold rain day in July
When you look me in the eye
And told me this was good-bye
First I thought I would die
Then I started to cry
And today I am not shy
To admit to myself I continued to lie

As the rain continue to pure outside
I begged and plead for your love inside
Opening my heart and arms wide
Hoping in them you would glide
But you had already decide
You had come to the end of the ride
But in hope I continue to hide

You walked through the door head held high
The rain had gone leaving a big dark sky
You never even turned to wave good-bye
You sped away as though you hoped to fly
Too long both of us Just one lonely I
How do I go on? I knew I would try
No more questions no more asking why

Today I thank you for leaving me
Cause now I look back and I can see
There was never anything but you and me
I was bound but you were so very free
Now there is not only one or two but three
Me, John and little Natalie
Bounded by love and held firm by honesty
I no longer cry but walk with dignity

I returned tired after 3 hrs dancing...and sat at the laptop .... past 9pm with a cup of tea....saw your title....and smiled....
Oh how so many of us must think the same...after the initial shock....glad they gave us our freedom...

Thanks Solong and Niah for commenting. The guy in this story is the loser, for the girl he left her for, left him for someone with a bigger bank account.....
