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
