New Year

The division line was drawn

The boundary was set pretty clear

The red flags flew up waving high

And the pain sunk in fast.

The decision was made with one in concern

And there wasn't any explanation owed.

It wasn't hateful or mean or intending to hurt

It just simply was. 

Standing back, one may think,

"Was it there the whole time?"

The tendency to be blind...

Well, sometimes that makes us a fool.

 I am grateful for those in my life

And those merely passing through.

I feel enough love in my life 

That my need for more lightly exists. 

The line is there and I don't feel the need to cross.

I will miss the old times and what it was.

I will miss the future plans and the laughter

And perhaps the late drinking nights.

I have to make a decision based on a "whole"

Not just on me.

It will be a New Year...
