Reason for Being


I'll let you go because it's what's best. Your reason for being was as a lesson. Does it hurt? Well, of course it does but all pain fades. Am I sad? Well, of course but after the sadness comes understanding. We've had our run and it was really fun, But the time for fighting has come to a close. So, as I watch you walk away, all I can do is wave. May God have mercy on your soul, But may God bless you in all the ways you deserve. I wish you no harm for none lies in my being, But I wish you'll feel the full weight of my forgiveness. Everything is not meant to last And clearly we follow the same rule, But I wish you nothing but good health and fortune. Does it hurt? Well, of course it does but all pain fade. Am I sad? Well, of course but after the sadness comes understanding. I'll let you go because it's what's best. Your reason for being was as a lesson.
