getting found.

I think I got lost somewhere.
somewhere alone the way,
I woke up to a sudden realization that
nothing was, as they say,
ideal.
all was empty.
seven short seconds.
'all I want to say is,
take off my ring now.'

I never meant to take a break.
I never meant to say goodbye.
I never wanted to not hear your voice.
but something is missing now.
someone is missing now.

you aren't the man I thought.
and I lost the woman I was.

we are both missing, you and I.
and until we find the person He would have us be,
we are useless to one another.

take your time.
take your life.

we have time.
we'll have life.

all I want to say is, I loved you.
I loved you, which is why,
I am going to say the words I never wanted.
goodbye.  and good luck.
and God bless you,
God keep you,
God make His face to shine upon you,
God be gracious to you,
God lift His countenance to you,
God give you peace, and
God give you a future, and a hope.

a future without me.
I see that now.
I hope you do, too.

I've gone to find myself.
should you return when I am gone,
maybe wait a bit.
God has me on this path.
I think I'll be back.

broken promises...
sometimes they heal.
sometimes they fade.

sometimes you never know why.

maybe someday I'll get found.
but for now, I'll get sleep.
