Just keep on walking,

A small voice said.

Don't dare look back.

Look straight ahead.

Yes, so many things

Have changed.

Think they'd stay

As you arranged?

Be strong and brave.

Calm your fears.

Keep that chin up.

Dry your tears.

Yes, love hurt

And broke your heart.

Keep your head

And heart apart.

Don't cry over

What you have had.

At least you had it.

Don't be sad.

This will be tough,

But time will heal.

Perhaps a new life

Will then reveal.

You are not new

To this whole game.

You gave your best.

You're not to blame.

The hardest thing

There is to do

Is love someone

Who does not love you.

So is it worth it?

What's to gain

When you love someone

Who brings you pain?

Just walk away

And stand up tall.

Count your blessings,

One and all!
