I watch you fall with thoughts not of your mind and words not of your voice It seems you act without your heart, did your words mean anything? They meant so much to me... so much... so much to me I listened and believed in you Left to question your motivations I deal with the frustrations you've left Behind I won't ever allow another mind to redefine what I feel in my heart It's been so long since I've been able to look you in the eye I've just forgotten I watch you fall and I think to myself Why can't you control you? It takes commitment to think for yourself But through it all, I will respect your right to change As long as you respect yourself When the actions of those we love contradict their words, The resulting wound runs deep. The process of healing involves coming to terms with oneself first. Change is essential to life. Respecting change requires the deepest patience, Honesty, commitment, communication and respect. The healing process takes more than just time
