It Hurts But I Have To Let You Go

Kills me to ignore your phone calls
When I long to hear your voice
Its torment having to delete your text messages 
When I really want to read what you have to say 
It destroys me not keeping in contact with you 
Knowing that I want to be with you the most 
But I have to do what’s best for me
And let you go
So when I get weak and want to pick up the phone
I pick up a pen instead and write you 
Then seal it with a kiss and throw it in the fire place
And that hurts me too
I just want to let you know that you will never be deleted
You always will have a special place in my heart 
And I keep your memories with me always 
So although I don’t talk to you directly
I speak to you as I look out the windowsill
Even though I don’t read your text 
I pretend to read imaginary ones from you 
And although we have no contact at all
I pray to God for you
I don’t hate you at all and would love to be your friend
But my heart is broken and it’s going to take time to mend
So from now on I rely on God to take care of you 
But I hope you never forget that I love you
 It hurts so much that I have to let you go
But love, in my heart you never left
