Blowing in the Wind

i have always wondered how you end
a relationship, i have only been in a few
my entire lifetime, and mostly in my
younger years, so i am very inexperienced
with the ending of a love

my imagination, tells me it is awfully hard
at least that is what i see, however when
i see someone, i have not seen, or i hear
of a breakup, and i remember these people
as couple's, i always wonder "was it hard?"

when i ask some of them, most reply
"oh it was for the best" or "the love was
just not there anymore" "he/she changed"
which only makes me wonder more,
as there was dating, vows, elaborate weddings etc

so do you just stop loving? does the person
change so much? did you not see what this
person really was?

i know i have alot of questions, i guess its
because i just don't understand, as this has
not happen to me, so i can't grasp how the
love just stops

in my adult years my heart has only
beat for one, circumstances keep us
apart, i did not end it, i could not
it just cannot be
so be it

i am very grateful for that beat of my
heart, i am happy i can feel it
as it beats with love and gratitude

so how does one do it, how do you turn
it off and go forward? how do you breathe
knowing a relationship of love just ended?

does it just blow away like the wind?
