"Walk Away"

by Ben Harper

Oh no
Here comes that sun again
That means another day
Without you my friend

And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more
To have to be with somebody else
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away

With so many people
To love in my life
Why do I worry
About one

But you put the happy
In my ness
You put the good times
Into my fun
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door

We've tried the goodbye
So many days
We walk in the same direction
So that we could never stray
They say if you love somebody
Than you have got to set them free
But I would rather be locked to you
Than live in this pain and misery

They say time will
Make all this go away
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows
And turned them into yesterdays
And once again that rising sun
Is droppin' on down
And once again you my friend
Are nowhere to be found
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
You just walk away
Walk away 

I happened across this song today and couldn't help but post lyrics.  I really love it and had forgotten how good it was.  This week has been interesting.  A lot of introspective thoughts.  I have recently been blessed with a friend who is strong willed, focused, goal-driven, true to her self, has a great grasp on who that self is, brave, courageous full of love and giving of love to a fault.  She is an amazing, intelligent woman who will one day conquer the world.  She recently impacted my life in a way no one before her has and for that I thank her.  

It's an interesting thing to think about how one can love oneself but that is my new mission.  So I'm going to put faith in the powers that be and strive to make her proud.  I owe it to her but moreover I owe it to me.  One day we will be on the same page again.
