Let Go

Can anyone please tell me Or try to make me see Just how to move on To help myself get along And to put aside These feelings I harbor so deeply inside God knows how hard on my own I've tried But it never stops, never goes away In my mind those emotions will not stray There I am again standing on the edge My feet keep on teetering on that ledge But yet I haven't yet fell It's my own personal hell I stand there because I can't so much as move I know there's so much to you to prove I don't move side to side Because in the shadows I don't want to in them hide I don't dare jump down Even though my world is crashing all around So I stand there screaming to you so loud Yet you still don't hear my sounds At this point all I can do is pray yet again to the heavens above And believing that someday soon I will be the one For with whom has your love I try to not lose sight however of just how far I've come And keeping that faith in who it is I love Wearing that love for you close to the vest and on my sleeve Wanting so bad to hold you and from you to never again have to leave But for now I will continue to go on with the pain And how it sometimes causes from my eyes rain And how all my memories take up far too much of my time And the fears and doubts that can fill up too much of my mind But I know that you I just can't leave behind I don't believe that love is blind It's funny how we as people in our mind Go back to our past to find Just how we should or shouldn't be who we are in our present And to receive the power to change our future I never want to be someone you resent But you are someone I can't just forget You are so deeply in my soul And these feelings I am not able to control I'm not sure if I will ever be able to let you go
