Separated
Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky
We'd be blue
If love was a choir
You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you
If love was an Oscar
You and I could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If love is the Bible
Then we are lost in sin
Because it's not in our hearts
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
If love was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport
We're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause love isn't for me and you
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
Boy I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
Boy you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go..." — Usher
Things are different now. Time is changing and we're in the midst of a transition from "we" back to "him" and just "I". Nearly four years in the making; we've been up and down, up and down, up and then back down for months now, but this time, it's me stepping back when I'm usually the one holding on. This has caused me much more pain than any past heartbreaks combined; when you realize that something you once cherished so dearly might actually be over, despite the fact that you thought it would never end. You are then reminded that as strong as you think you are, or as invincible as you may feel at times, you are, in fact, human. But if I could wish in all the stars for just my heart to be broken and not his, I would do it in less than a heartbeat, because it hurts to know he's hurt.
However, it puts me at ease that I'm saying goodbye knowing I allowed myself the chance for a story book tale with a man that possess such amazing capabilities, who I know can only better himself, and doing so, without restriction. He'll always be a part me because he helped shape this young woman you see forth. Thus, a fresh new slate, simplified with the focus strictly on me.
XOXO,

My heart goes out to you...
The best "advice" I could ever give you is the truth:they say with time it'll get better,its a lie.As time goes it'll hurt a million times mmore.And then slooowly you'll pull yourself together.
All I can say is: Do you want a hug?
I feel like in a way a hug would help just a little. I hope that this passes for you and that things start to look up again. Which I know they probably will because you are strong enough to hold your own and I know you'll get through this without any problems.
I don't comment on posts but I'm truly sorry that you're feeling down. Please take this time to focus on you. Alwyays remind yourself that the pain is only temporary for both of you even though it doesn't feel like that right now. There's a song by a singer named Shanice entitled Yesterday which speaks to the heart of your present situation please check it out. I wish you and him the best.
Lily,
There is not much I can do to make you feel better. I have been there so I know. It takes a long time and there are many bumps along the way, but eventually you will find your way out of the sadness.

Aww...I really hope you feel better. All the bumps in the road will make you stronger. Keep your chin up. BIG HUG
Hey Lily, I'm saddened to hear that you are going through a tumultuous time, I had to face pretty much the same thing just a few weeks ago. It's hard to let go of something you've become so familiar to. Although the wounds are fresh in time they will heal, and you will find yourself becoming a stronger and better person because of it.
sometimes a very big ME slate is necessary. hope the transition is a (relatively) smooth one, and you're coping well.
little retail therapy can't hurt either.
:-)
My dear Lily,
I'm reading your blog since the beginning and I've always known that you are a strong young lady and you'll see that this will make you even stronger!I know how much it hurts and that's why I'm here for you doll.
Buy yourself a new drop-dead pair of shoes,read a good book,go out with your girlfriends.
I just know you're a survivor and you'll get over it.
Big hugs!
Love you baby girl. See you soon, k? xoxo

Feeling the same...after 3 1/2 years its time for us to move on as well...the way i chose to get over it...an awesome shopping trip in NYC :)... I feel so much stronger and much better doing it for myself
It's beautiful but even better that there's still love enough for you to wish the best for each other.
I'm a bit late on commenting on this, as I'm really just going back on your archives so it's still good that you're doing well.
Cheers,
