to lose something

never meant to be lost

and the cost left over

that is not always monetary

hanging on for dear life

only to one day

watch it go away

the very thing 

that other plans was meant for

and just wanted this more

to stick with it, until decided upon

to let go by choice, rather than forced

and oh how life at times

can tend to change course

at will and without notice

and having to move on

with an unwanted result

yet at the same time 

and in a bit of hindsight

with more wrong felt than right

thinking deeply and intensely

and maybe, just maybe

this had to happen

in order to release one

for something even greater

as there are moments in life

that we must lose something

in order to gain something 

much better, than ever thought possible
