​

To Let You Go

 

As the mist rolls in between us

And the dream becomes a prison

For its bars the empty spaces,

With the wind its angry shackles

I can see that you’ll be leaving,

Even though I know you loved me.

And the only way to show you

Just how much I really love you

Is to let you go.

 

As the fear stirs within me

I have tried to hold the memory

Of the trust I once held for you,

Slipping fast away from my grasp

And I gather moments to me

Where the warmth and love shone brightly

All those hopes and dreams are gone now,

And I’ll leave them all behind me

As I let you go.

Don’t go.
