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.
Love and forever aren’t best friends, they don’t always do everything together.
When the forever goes away,
Love will hang on until the end.
No one’s to blame.
No shattered pieces to be swept up.
No wrong or right.
Love her through the leaving.
[pause]
hand in hand,
You set out to build your futures together.
Love wasn’t a guarantee,
And forever isn’t promised
even if once believed it was.
CHORES:
Love her through the leaving
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 how to love together,
With your best friend.
Forever slipped away,
But the love for the friend is still there.
The years had meaning.
Don’t make them feel like they were nothing.
Don’t let her leave with regret. Don’t make it about what it wasn’t.
The woman beside you is facing a crossroad in her life. One she didn’t plan for, one she didn’t expect.
She came into this with you, as a young woman,Fearless with her best friend beside her.
Now the road has split.
Your roots are here.
Hers have to be found.
Love her through the leaving.
Don’t let the woman beside you feel like she wasted it all.
Just to make leaving easier for you.
The time 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 becomes part of you.
It never really goes away.
Love her through the leaving.
Don’t become mean.
Don’t be cruel to the woman who loved you.
Your best friend is standing right there.
[pause]
Forever is out there waiting to find her. Waiting to give her the love she deserves.
The kind of Love that feels like
the whole damn world just 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. L
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. Thats the kinda of love she deserves.
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 forever has gone away.
CHORES:
Remember…
I too was a young woman,
Before I was your mom.
Shes still your best friend…
Love her
through the leaving.
