Tearjerkers...

Relationships now this is something that always stirs up a whole pile of issues but its something that has been on my mind for a few weeks now. For some of us that are single we spend a lifetime trying to find the perfect or no so perfect partner to share the good times and the bad. To come home from work and have arms wrapped around you without you having to say a word can make the crappy day you may have been having disappear. It’s all those thoughtful things that pass between you both without words being said and done because you love that person.

Where am I going with this well I have seen over the past few weeks a couple that are soul mates that have been together since they were teenagers have just split up – they have children and it started very amicable he was going to stay at home and look after the kids around his work and she would have them at weekends, they were going to live under the same roof but in a matter of weeks it was so obvious that this was not going to work its strange how a couple who were in love so much a few months ago can rapidly spiral to strangers.

Everything discussed how now become a big issue and everything that was discussed and agreed has now been turned around and used against the other. It can be so hard when you are trying to be impartial when you love them both equally, and to not say or do something that will pee one or the other off. I know friends who have been through divorce, break-ups and moved on to find love and happiness with someone else, some are happier bringing up their children on their own. But it still makes me sad when something breaks and cant be fixed. No amount of words can help stop the pain that is felt by both parties in different ways but in the words of James Blunt………….

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
.So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry,
I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

This is dedicated to you both with love x

`Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly`

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Hi Lisa, this is very sad, but something that is close to my heart. I hope your friends read this because they need to take a long hard look at themselves.
They have children, so all I would ask is that they think of them before they tear each other apart. I know this must be painful for them both, but please, try and work together for the sake of the children that you both love. With a little effort and understanding on both sides, you can sort this out. Just stop trying to score points. End of lecture. Gx
