"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


How can I express my heart?

How can I testify to every part?

How do I show him how I truly feel?

When words are none yet I can't conceal?

How do I show him how much is my love?

How do I prove he's more than enough?

How do I show him how much he means?

And tell him he means the world to me?

And yet so much more, you see?

He not only means the world and more, 

He is my world, my heart's implore

But how can I share this with him?

Let him know what I feel within?

I want him to know and understand, 

The way I feel if only he can

I pray he'll see

How much he means

If only I could make him see

How he's not just anybody to me

He could be my somebody if he felt the same

How do I show him, how do I explain?

How I love him more than summer rain, 

More than the highest skies, 

Or darkest nights,

I love him farther than the edge of the earth,

More than I could ever unearth

Deeper than the oceans deep

He filled my dreams in my sleep

I think of him all the time

More than I can describe

I miss him every time he isn't at my side

Love him for the rest of time

I wish there were better words to explain,

But for lack of better things to say

Now he knows my heart

Every longing part

And I truly hope he too

Feels the way I do

More than he'll ever know

More than I can ever show

I have come to my reveal

Cause I want you to know and feel

Forever through and through 

Just know how much I cared for you

But know I feel a heartbroken pull

Roaring through my soul

Every time that I'm away

I miss you every day

Yet something so hard nags me

Compressing and compelling 

A choice between two hard things

Someone I love or the things I believe

It tears me apart 

Completely breaks my heart

To know I can't have both the two

I don't feel strong enough to choose

I know he heard the things I'd say

About what I believe and why it's my faith

But it's not enough to hear

If nothing comes back near

To have a change of heart

On either of our parts

Don't change for me my love

It has to be your choice

I hope the best to you from above 

I pray you've heard my voice 

Alas, I have to pull away 

I know I'm feeling myself fall

I'm sorry that I can't stay

And hold you through it all

Just know I love you 

Up to life and down to death

I'll always hold you in my heart

Through my very last breath

I wish more than anything 

With crying eyes and a broken heart

That there was another way through everything

Than to have to part

It hurts more than I could ever tell

What pain starts to befell

Even at the thought to let you go 

But I have nothing else to show

We each believe different things 

That are diametrically opposed

It's not just a work through it thing

We both hate it that we know 

I simply ask you to always question 

Just be open to suggestion

I'll do the same thing too

And I'll always remember you

I love you more than you'll ever know

And if you'd try to understand

That's why I have to let you go

For the sake on both our hands 

I'm always open to suggestion

Please question where you stand

I take suggestion and search for evidence

Please do the same you know you can! 

You're in my prayers and in my heart

I hate that we must part

But I pray you will remember me 

And how I've told you all these things

Please don't forget me

Please don't regret me 

I wish you the very best

I pray you'll question 

Every lesson 

Put everything to the test

And eventually find your rest

I wish you hope 

I wish you peace 

I pray the best for you 

I pray you'll cope

Through all the pieces 

And forever find the truth


The author's comments:

I just had to end something with someone I really cared about that was starting towards a relationship, because we both knew it wasn't going to be a good thing, because we were not the same religion. It's hard to admit that I know I was completely falling for this person, so it broke my heart to have to cut off completely, but I knew that was the right thing. He strongly believed one thing, and I strongly believe another, and as a Christian, it's not just a work through it thing. So, I had to cut off from them. It was really hard, and sometimes I struggle missing them. But, I have to remind myself we both believed that to be the right thing to do. And, when it hurts I just pray for him.
