Joseph Healy Poet Free verse

If you really love her let her go

If you really love her 
Let her go 
Confused me 
For years 

Many many 

Recently I concluded 
That it's 
For the best 

And I see it now 
Micky Haller and 
Wife number 1

She's leaving him
Again 
And
He should let her 

Leave.

As I see it now, you see,
It's like this 
And its simple 
So simple 

I wonder why, how,
It took so long,
It took those many many years 

My advice to Mickey is this 
If you really love her
Let her go

And if she loves you,
Simple,

She'll come back.

And tell me Joseph,
This has 
What to do with me?

And who's Mickey Haller
Anyway?

Should I care a bit?

And as I ascended the stairs Wendy,
Wondering why 
I had written that,
Nothing to do with you at all,

How'd I work Wendy into that poem???
I couldn't.

Until, of course,
I could.
I
And we,
Of course,
Had finally, finally,
To let you 
Go.

We all love you, you see...
And we had to let you 
Go,
But
With a twist,

We
Had to let you go,
Not
So you could return to us.

The truth is different.
You
Never left.

We
Had to let you go,
And you 
Would prepare the way for us,
Until we meet again.
