Letting go

Hundreds of letters and thousands of words
No reason to believe that one more will reach her
As hard as letting go is, sometimes it’s for the best
Pick yourself up and lift that chin
Remember the good she found in you
Find the strength to try again

So many lessons this life has taught me
This latest one has forever changed me
The hottest flame dies quickly
Once cold, no match can restore
Better to restore the flame within
Better to share that warmth with those who seek it

So my love, I leave you to find that spark
Your heart will light with love one day soon
My words no longer touch you
My memory no longer carries you
Questions that I seek from you
Need to be answered in my own heart

I know it is time to say goodbye
I know it is time to let go
I was hoping you shared my hopes
So I leave you this last letter
I share these last words…
I will forever love you
I will never forget what we shared

Thank you

For waking my passions
For your words that will never be forgotten
For the memory of your smile
For letting me be close once more
For your love, your spirit
For sharing yourself while you could
For helping me be the man I am today

You will never know what your love meant to me
