Life's SO Much ABOUT Learning HOW To Let GO...!

 I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons I would never have survived. I know Richard Parker's a tiger but I wish I had said, "It's over. We survived. Thank you for saving my life. I love you, Richard Parker. You'll always be with me. May God be with you."

From 20th Century Fox Pictures: The Life of Pi

Life flashes in an instant, without you I often did cry..
But we were both so young to bare our souls...
I wasn't perfect as you know.....
When Life was still a party to be told....

My DREAMS still hold your memory ....
As I toss and turn around a life passin' me by...
People have come and so many then do go...
Yet at times thinking about you makes me sigh...

I've heard rumors about your new life.....
And I think maybe that could have been me...
To shower you with Light and Love...
Yet in the end I knew best to set you FREE.....

Maybe I should have waited just a little more...
Because you gave me your heart and Soul...
Before my tears flooded my bedroom floor...
Did I know of the loss and all its taken toll....

But with you, Life was often a party for more than one....
Deep down though I think I always knew...
That although my future would be BRIGHT...
It would not be one that I would share with you...

Yet I still often think of your beaming soul...
When I stir up my broken DREAMS....
For together we held such a Brazen Light....
So many years ago does that now seem....

So before I let you go...
There is something I need you to know...
And that is my heart still holds a safe place...
A harbor in which you are free to come or go.....
