I am trying to make things work ,
but its hard because my feelings are for someone else.
My partner knows this but says he loves me ,
and theres the kids to think about so I can't just think of myself.
I could have just kept my feelings for this other a secret ,
but the feelings grew so strong it got to the point that I could no longer lie.
Besides after 13 years together my partner could tell there was something wrong ,
so the truth I did tell him and the tears we both did cry.
We talked and talked and a lot was said ,
he begged me to give him the chance to change and to give things a go.
So this is what I am trying to do and in truth I'm doing it for the kids ,
deep down and behind the false smiles my heart is aching because the other I still do love very much so.
