Just recorded a demo version of this, a power lash-out ballad I wrote which includes the following:
Blessing In Disguise
Chorus:
I loved you, but you did not love me
What was then, was then, and what will be, will be
So thank you for saving me from your pack of lies
For your absence has become a blessing in disguise
Amazing to look back at the loss of someone/something you cried for, craved for, never believing for a moment you could ever live without it/them, only to discover much later that gone equals good. Whoo--let's take a breath and say that again...gone equals good! Whatever the dysfunctional toxic person, relationship, compulsion, behavior, etc.., if being present equals bad, then gone equals good. No fill-in-the-blank is better than a bad fill-in-the-blank (lover, employer, system, belief, food, bike route, bowling ball, you name it).
Seriously, life is short, too short for settling in any way, shape or form. Let's keep our standards at the tippy tippy top when it comes to love, truth, beauty, freedom, peace, clothes, closets, ice trays, potholders, everything and everyone! Our Who's, What's, When's, Where's, Why's and How's all merit our very best response at any given moment. And the more I get in sync with this, the happier and healthier human I am becoming, and it feels great! More hard, sad losses continually reveal themselves as "happy blessings in disguise".
When it comes to less-than-the-best, gone equals not just good, gone equals GREAT!
