Letting Go

My life is going to 
be empty 
without you...

I am going to miss you
I am going to miss your touch; 
I'll even miss your smell...

I am going to miss you singing 
along to our favorite songs, 
Even though you have a tendency to sing out of tune...

I am going to miss our "we time"
My weekends use to revolve around them...
I'll miss our debates,
Most of all the futile ones...

I am going to miss you holding me close, 
you whispering in my ear
I am going to miss listening to your heart beat while you’re asleep... 

It is going to be tough,
But I'm letting go... 

Letting go of something
that’s never meant to be...

Letting go of the constant reminder, 
that you’re just on loan to me...

This time, it’s not out of jealousy
this time, it is going to be for me…

I enjoyed reading this. It had a lot of emotion behind it. It reminds you of letting go of someone because you basically have to.
