The Strength To Not Love Her

Give me the strength

To let go of her hand

That I can't help but hold

Even when her hand is cold

Give me the strength

To take back my heart

That she keep locked among many cages

of men who loved her through the ages

Give me the strength

To take back my worry

For I care not who she is with

Long as they treat her like a gift

Give me the strength

To take back my life

For I hold a future that doesn't exist

with a wife and child as part of the list

Give me the strength

Or take away the pain

Toss me to the wind

Where my body won't break or bend

Cause every time I think it's over

I see her face and love floods back in

And all these emotions begin to stir

........So I'm begging you please, give me the strength to not love her.
