Common mistake I see with younger people is their basis for choosing ones partner. No offense but some girls are nice to have as girlfriends but are not exaclty mother/wife material. The same holds true for guys. Then there's the chemistry between the two since we're talking oabout uniting two individuals, in the eyes of God.
Marriage is a one-way street- it's a contract between 3 entities which includes God. We study for more than 15 years for a career/profession but our society does not prepare us much for marriage. We (myself included) would go through lengths just to avoid that 2-hour seminar required prior to a wedding.
Put away the pictures.
Put away the memories.
I put over and over
Through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more?
How do you leave it in a drawer?
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go.
Try to say it's over
Say the word goodbye.
But each time it catches in my throat
Your still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more
Wish I could open up that door
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go
Watching us fade
What can I do?
But try to make it through
the pain of one more day
Without you
Where do I start, to live my life alone?
I guess I'm learning, only learning,
Learning the art of letting go.
