Letting Go
doing the thing you want least, but know you must

Words you would never say, thoughts inside fearful to share
Last thing you think about when laying head down to sleep
The very first thing across your mind awakening to sun’s ray
Dreams for so long abandoned, and do not come to you
Yet now, you dream, now you enter a deeper rest thinking of them
…
Aware you shouldn’t pursue, the right thing to do is let them go
Someone else already has that which you wish so deeply was yours
To capture their passion, to find that kindred soul, hearts beating together
You see it all, holding hands on park strolls, hours flying past in deep talks
Just being able to know them better, know them more on a closer level
Heart screams for that chance, for what someone else has to be yours
…
Choice is already made, the pain is coming, you need to quit them
Their happiness is too important, know you have to let them go
Never this hard before to release someone from your heart’s gaze
Deep down you know it is right, you need to feel this pain now
So they do not need to feel it, not be hurt, so you let go … let them go

Letting go is so hard, but it can also be so rewarding. It’s important to remember that through the pain ♥️
Painfully poignant. Real tears...
