LOVE HER THROUGH THE LEAVING
If she’s not your forever, love her through the leaving.
Sometimes love can’t promise forever.
Even if we wish it that way.
But she is your best friend.
Before everything got hard.
She chose you.
She trusted you with her heart.
Love isn’t easy.
Love is commitment.
And even with that…
Sometimes love still hurts.
[pause]
hand in hand,
You set out to build your future together.
But love wasn’t a guarantee,
And forever isn’t promised
even if once believed it was.
CHORES:
I was a young woman
Before I was your mom.
She loved you through the years, love her through the leaving.
Don’t make the years fell like a loss. She loved you through the neglect.
You learned together, you learned with your best friend.
The forever might have went away,
But the love for the friend is still there.
Those years had meaning.
Don’t make them feel like they were nothing.
Don’t let her leave with regret.
Love her through the leaving.
Don’t let the woman standing there feel like she wasted it all.
Just to make leaving easier for you.
The life you shared will always be there.
Love her through the leaving.
Love her for the years she loved you.
Love her for the girl who chose you.
Love leaves a mark in our heart, and
It never really goes away.
It becomes part a part of you, a part you will carry for the rest of your life.
Love her through the leaving.
Don’t become mean.
Don’t become cruel to the woman who loved you.
Your best friend is still right there.
[pause]
Someone out there
Is waiting to give her the Love she deserves .
The kind of Love that feels like
the whole damn world stopped.
CHORES:
I was a young woman
Before I was your mom.
Maybe her forever
Is somewhere she hasn’t been yet. Don’t let your best friend leave feeling like she deserves less, because it made it easier for you to forget.
Love her through the leaving.
The love she deserves will find her.
The kind that never makes her question the kind that reminds her everyday that she is his world*,
The I can’t-believe-I-found-you* kind of love.
The reach-for-you-in-my-sleep knowing you’re there.
The kinda of love that looks across a crowded room and still only sees her.
Leaving doesn’t mean forgetting the years.
It means two people loved enough to once believe in forever.
There is no right or wrong and love doesn’t disappear,
when the forever has left.
CHORES:
I was a young woman
Before I was your mom.
Love her other
through the leaving.
