What Do I Want?

What is it that I want? I've lost my soulmate.

I know he is never coming back. I have mourned.

I continue to mourn for him to this day.

I now want to know what I can do to be happy.

I want to begin to live my life.

What can I do to explore the new?

Life is short, I have to stop putting things off.

I need to go after what I want.

The big question is what is it that I want?

It was US for many years.

Now it is only ME.

I have to care for ME.

Life is quickly moving.

Time waits for no one.

What do I want?

"If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it."

-John Irving

  "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." �Helen Keller
