I'Ll Let Her Go

I hate you, you broke me. Then after that negativity is all that I could see. It's almost a year, but I still love you. Yet there is no other way for you to see that it is true. Then our bosses decided to send us for a month-long training. And then my heart started to sing. Because it is a training to a very far place. And the next thing I knew, happiness was already on my face. You didn't have any romantic partner, and so do I. But I didn't expect my feelings would even dare to try. I confessed my love almost a year ago. Yet you refused and told me to let you go. But such is life, isn't it? Just when I thought it's over, it suddenly came. Is the light inside my heart once again being lit? Or will the outcome stay the same? Then I just regained consciousness and realized that I must act. I still have those feelings for her, and that's a fact. So I'll do everything I can to turn things around. Because for the second time, I hear my heartbeat's sound. I tried harder than my first time. Just to make you feelings for me to chime. From being a gentleman to a protector. There's not a thing I would do to meet you in the shore. I tried to forget my feelings for you, but I can't. So I did all there is to do, as those non-verbal words are being sent. And now I know, I should continue this love. But this is not a love where I can fly like a dove. I wanted you to be happy, even if it's not me. So I am setting you free. A line from the song said, "Only know you love her when you let her go." So now I say this to you, "I'm letting you go."

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS, kabayan. (Please check form of poem... since this is more of a rhyme, than free verse.) I pray that you have a delightful personal relationship with the best Lover, the Saviour Jesus Christ. According to John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
