I'll Be Okay

This is the song by Amanda Marshall that I mentioned at the end of my last post. I like the thought behind the song. I like the general feeling that it evokes.

There is a very dear friend of mine whom I told, years ago, that when he announced his wedding I'd probably behave in the same way in which Julia Roberts does in my favourite movie, after her best friend announces his wedding. Since then I've gained a lot more control over myself (hopefully) and I'm not actually going to do that. This is for him, wishing him all the happiness he could ask for in life, and possibly more.

It's time to let you go
It's time to say goodbye
There's no more excuses
No more tears to cry
There's been so many changes
I was so confused
All along you were the one
All the time I never knew

I want you to be happy
You're my best friend
But it's so hard to let you go now
All that could have been
I'll always have the memories
She'll always have you
Fate has a way of changing
Just when you don't want it to

Throw away the chains
Let love fly away
Till love comes again
I'll be okay

Life passes so quickly
You gotta take the time
Or you'll miss what really matters
You'll miss all the signs

I've spent my life searching
For what was always there
Sometimes it will be too late
Sometimes it won't be fair

I won't give up
I won't give in
I can't recreate what just might have been
I know that my heart will find love again
Now is the time to begin

I can't hold on forever baby
I'll be okay
