Heartfelt

I could cry a tear
for each picture i dont get to be in
for every memory i dont get to share.

I could tell you that i'm sorry
that we had to part our ways,
that i couldnt always be there.

I could lament
that you think that i've avoided you
or that ive ceased to care

I could mourn
for the time when that was true,
and the time i wasted there.

I could tell you
about the tears i've cried
day and night on your behalf

I could tell you,
but i doubt you'd believe.
You'd probably sit and laugh.

I could say
that i wish every day
i could see your smiles again

I could say
i wanted to go back
and let the devil win.

But i can't,
i musn't, i won't
nothing is farther from me.

My path is set,
the road is long,
charging off to face our enemy.

I wished
that you would come along,
to see what He has shown me

But you just smiled
and turned away.
the choice that grows 'tween you and me.

So i shed
my single tear.
to tell you that i miss you

and keep pressing on
through wind and rain
standing on what is true.

I'm not coming back
the way i came,
i cant be what i was before

I've changed, been freed
grown up, matured
my heart released to soar.

But if you care to find me,
look not to the western sky
Look to the narrow gate and road,
the road less traveled by.

I wipe my eyes,
i dry my tear
and leave my fears behind me,

away from the old
pressing on into Him.
If you want to know how,
you know where to find me.
