Goodbye to You
Have you ever lost someone that meant the world to you? After a while, the 
 
 pain 
 
 begins to ease. You may even forget 
 that they ever existed.Then, 
 
 suddenly, 
 you hear their favorite song, or you remember something funny that 
 
 they said; and the pain is renewed. 
 It seems as if you're standing still watching 
 
 them walk away, watching them walk out of your life yet again. When they 
 
 leave, 
 you feel an emptiness
 --a void--
 and you doubt that anyone could ever fill it...
 
 because this 
 person has walked into your life and completely 
 
 changed everything you ever believed about life and 
 love
 ...that there's no way i could ever feel that way about somebody...
 that no one would ever feel 
 
 
 and then just when you 
 
 realize 
 that maybe you were wrong, it ends. you wonder if you ever even lost them--
 
 
 
 All 
 
 you ever wanted was somebody who cared; somebody to be there for you in 
 
 your 
 darkest days;
 someone to turn to when everyone else turns away. You 
 
 wanted to be there for them too. You wanted to listen when they needed to talk. 
 You wanted them to know that even when they weren't looking, you were 
 
 always there.
 
 
 
 
 Is it normal to be like this? To feel this strongly, to care this much?
  
 How do you describe losing someone who meant more to you in just a few months than most people you've known your whole life? 
 
 Was it just infatuation? Why is it 
 that I'm fine until something happens that makes me unhappy...
 
 thats when I 
 think about them..when I'm sad. 
 Am I just scared of forgetting them, 
 
 {afraid} 
 
 that soon they'll be no more than just a faint memory of a short time in my life 
 
 when things seemed to be going ok? 
 
 
 And yet through it all, God is there. When you feel as if your world is 
 
 f
 a
 l
 l
 i
 n
 g 
 
 apart and the walls are crashing down, remember that you are never 
 
 alone. 
 
 He is always waiting there with open arms. No matter what you've done or how 
 
 long you've been gone, He will be there to wipe away your tears, to comfort you and 
 
 bring you home. 
 
 He has l<3ved you all your life, and He will never leave your side. 
 
 <{He is the only thing worth living for.>}
 
 He knows where you have been, and He has already been where you're going. 
 
 Trust in him to lead the 
 way; step out in faith, and the bridge will appear. 
 
 Give everything up--there's 
 no way you can handle the struggles of life on your own. 
 
 Give it up..
 
 and surrender to Him.
