A New Direction

​

I should have known
we would have grown
apart, two hearts
divided by the days
and miles that lay
between us,

​

but I was blinded
by a light, love sent
shining bright,
from up above.

​

I thought our love
would never end,
but end it did,
and now I'm lost,
not knowing why
or where you've gone.

​

Now I'm out here
all alone,
and you're out there
on your own.

​

I should have known
we would have grown
apart, two hearts
going separate ways.

​

And now, somehow,
I must learn
the wisdom
of a new direction.
