Letting Go

It’s been 7 long years Since I last heard your voice Since I last felt your touch The grief has been overwhelming I still wear your pajamas at night It feels like you’re holding me once more I look at my rings that are still on my hand They used to feel so warm and secure Now they are feeling like a vice Crushing my finger and stealing my happiness I take them off, but I don’t feel better It feels like I’m betraying you Betraying us I wear your ring on a chain around my neck It’s weighing heavily on my soul How do you let go of what could have been What should have been What will never be They say time heals all wounds But some wounds are just too deep When my time has come And when I reunite with you Will you see me the same way I’m trying to keep our promise Friends and family all say the same thing That you would want me to move on To find happiness again They just don’t seem to understand It’s not easy moving on I’m looking for a sign Desperately searching for the path I need to learn how to let go How to embrace a future without you But I’m stuck in this endless loop Looking for the exit How do I let go of the guilt The pain and the overwhelming sorrow I tried to move forward But the emotions were just too much I feel everything and nothing I’m just a shell of what I once was I need to find myself again To rebuild a life From the shattered remnants Of an amazing time with you
