I'm done. Time to move on, life is a like a long hike up Mt. Everest. In order to get to the top on time, I must move forward. I have to adjust to the bumps and get back on track. I have to keep moving towards the top. But I won't look down, I might see something that will bring me down.

I looked down, because of you. You've caused enough heartache but you still get me to fall for you, every time. You bring me down once I've gotten myself back up. Well this time, I'm done.

I just know the right guy is waiting for me at the top of the mountain. But where am I at now; half way up, next to the bottom, or ten feet away from the top?

Oh, Mt. Everest, please have him meet me half way. My heart can't take the ache.
