Let Go

I could ask you to stay,
But there's really nothing left to say.

This breakup has been emotional and long,
But I know I'm strong.

I guess we naturally grew apart,
But it still hurts in my heart 

We went days without 
speaking or sending a text,
And I could only wonder what was next.

There were times we couldn't look each other 
in the eye.
How did we get this far, and why
 did something so special have to die?

As I write this, memories flood me.
They remind of all we used to be.

Even when things were bad, 
I never thought the marriage would end.
Our broken hearts I thought we could mend.

Now you've left without a goodbye.
I've got no energy to even cry.
But ur all that's on my mind .

I knew it was over when we started
 doing things on our own.
You got so distant and I was alone.

I tried getting you to notice that
 I was still there,
But you made up your mind and didn't care.
 So replies I did not find .

There are many nights when you're
 all that's on my mind Glenda
Even though it's been awhile now 
I hope happiness is what you find.

There are  still days when I just
 can't get out of bed.
But "try" is what you always said.

So every day I try to put on a smile.
Even if it's not a real one for a while.
Cause I know no one can ever take ur place 

We were together for some years, 
so do you ever shed tears?
I know I've got to let you go,

And someday I will,
But mixed emotions are what I feel.

We both made our fair share of mistakes. 
It feels like I'm drowning in
 sadness, anger, and resentment,
 all in different lakes.

Reality is comen cause I know 
In my broken heart you have left.
It's been awhile now Glenda,
I still think of you,
My love has not gone away.

There still something missing 
In my life 
I know that hole of emptiness is you. 
I hope you know I am sorry for everything 
I put you through.

I honestly wish you nothing but the best
As my strength and endurance
 I keep putting to the test.

Just know that's it's you I'll always miss. 

Glenda smallings I love you. I dedicate this too you. 
I don't know if you'll ever see this but I hope you do . 
An I hope for all the things we went through you can 
Forgive me for an we can at least be friends in the end . 
Maybe more again someday if we could give it another try.
That day you last seen me. I wanted to  follow u I wanted to go  but 
I was scared .
 I hope you find the happiness u deserve . 
If I never see or hear from you again just know 
I never wanted a divorce .
