Keep

I let go the moon, but keep it's mystic glow, 
I let go the stars, but keep their pixie dust 
I let go the day, but keep it's embraced night
I let go the sky, but keep it's sobbing clouds
I let go the breeze, but keep it's chilling bite
I let go the lake, but keep it's frozen dreams
I then let you go, and I keep your memories
deep in a rosebush guarded by it's thorns.
I let go the ache, but keep it's remnant tears.
ecliptic secrets of few lost emblazoned years
As love turned to forgotten hate and apathy
I let them all go again, but keep irrigating hope
Without you ,mi amor, my heart levitates
I let go being alive... but just keep existing.
