Why Must I Let You Go?

I love you.
Never ever think
That I don’t feel the same way.
I have loved you
With a love
That can go on forever
I have loved you
With a love
That isn’t afraid to die.

But I must let go.
You really know I should.
Though you might wonder
And though you might say
That you’d never understand,
Why I must let go
Of your hand.

I never planned
To hurt you.
But what could I do
If staying means
That I’d just hurt you more?

Never before
Have I loved
The way that I have loved you.
And never before
Have I cried
The way I’d cry for you now.

Tell me that somehow
Our love was not in vain,
Despite all the pain.
Despite the emptiness
We’d suffer
Now that all things
Must come to an end.

You’ve been a friend,
And you’d always be
The dearest one for me.
So embrace me
One last time
Before I go.
You know how much
I love you so.
And because I do,
I have to let you go.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
