The Road To Getting There Poem by Ray Hansell

The pain in your eyes
Can't match the pain in my heart
Since we both agreed
That we should part

This empty feeling that I have
Stays with me night and day
I only wish I knew how
To chase this feeling away

My love for you was truly strong
I thought true love was here to stay
But somehow things went wrong
Love got lost along the way

I wish you nothing but the best
May God watch over you
I hope one day that you find peace
in whatever you chose to do

We all know it's never easy
To lose anything in life
But losing someone you love
Is a lonely and terrible fight

Your emotions are very mixed
You're not sure what to feel
You just know losing someone
Is a pain you can't conceal

You know things will get better
Eventually you'll find someone to care
But the hardest part of it all
Is the road to getting there
