Don Henley - Heart of the Matter

sometimes THATS the hardest thing for a man to do...
3 yrs since me n 2nd ex broke up n still struggle with it but I know Life DOES go on!

will we really love again

There is nothing to pull behind you except anger and there is nothing to lose only the freedom of love and trust. You are the only one, who can live your life. The freedom causes emptiness and permanent clean slate, there are no gurus, no method, only the way, what you live, no forgiveness only responsibility. You have to pick up the burden - no excuse.

this original version sounds really really good....but i think India Arie's remake sounds more soulfull....either way i love the message...............Forgiven ess!!!!!!!!!

amen!! going through that right now!! don's right..no matter how bad things were...forgive and move on. Love completely!! I admire that!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you... I'm feeling truly, truly blessed by you all. Namaste :-)

So very true! Do what you have to do to get through every ounce of pain so you can be complete and healed! You will only grow from it and be a better person to your next love. They deserve that. We will love again, but there are "no short cuts" in life and more so in processing pain. "Go Through it!" Peace is on the other side..

This song has been incredibly powerful in processing my break up. So, true in that sometimes "the more you know, the less you understand and sometimes we just have to learn again" I'm willing to do that.. I have no regrets in loving completely and i will do it again over and over if that's what it takes.

Ditto to all the encouragement here to you. Most men don't "get the learnings of why it didn't work" so I'm really glad you are looking into your heart to find why it didn't work. If you do that and you can figure it out, next time will be 10 times better! I'd encourage to look at James 1:5 to seek wisdom and understanding about what's in your heart. Can't miss with gaining wisdom. God bless you.

It's about wisdom.....forgiving yourself as well as the other party. Learning to live with yourself.
