Reminders to My Heart

Be calm, my heart, for it is not the end
Though you have lost not just a love, but also a friend,
Though you may feel like breaking, like the world's falling apart,
It isn't over. It isn't over, brave heart

Be strong, my darling heart, be strong
Have no doubt, the decision made was not wrong,
Yes, it's difficult, he and you are no more,
But do not lose hope, there is much to live for

Be kind to yourself, dear heart, it wasn't your fault
The relationship was failing, it was already coming to a halt
Regret has no place here; instead, take it with a smile
Learn from this and fight to move on, even if it takes a while

Stop your tears, gentle heart, do not weep
Rest your tired eyes, get some sleep
Start each day with a fresh mind,
In time the peace you seek you will find

Promise me, my heart, promise me you will try
To one day love yourself and face the world with a smile, head held up high,
To someday move on as you let go of all the regret and sadness,
And in return, when that day comes, I promise you will find genuine happiness.
