Rejection

My heart is heavy with regret

as you turn and walk away.

I stand here wondering what to do

to make you want to stay.

A hole has opened in my heart;

one that will never heal.

Let us make another start.

My love for you is real.

What have I done to hurt you?

I have done my very best

to be there when you needed me.

Have I not passed the test?

Perhaps I said some hurtful thing

that made you turn away.

If I did, please forgive me.

We can make it if you stay.

I have loved you unconditionally

and prayed for you each day;

God keep you safe and happy

and guide you on your way.

As you fade into the distance

on that dark and lonely road

I pray God walk beside you

and help you bear your load.

Whatever road you choose in life

may it be broad and clear

and filled with love and happiness

and things that you hold dear.

May you become all you can be,

and your every dream come true.

May what you seek come to you,

as happiness you pursue.

Perhaps in the distant future

in some unknown place and day,

when memory of the present

completely fades away,

We will be brought together

and immediately recognize

the never ending spark of love

seen in each other's eyes

Though oceans become deserts

and the mountains erode to sand

our souls will last forever

according to God's plan.

So now the lonely wait begins

and my soul will wither away

until the day you are back to stay

and our love continues then.
