Letting Go
My dearest heart, I do not go
Because I’m tired of you,
Or think that other worlds will show
A heart more kind or true.
Pretend I’ve died, just tell your heart
I’m dead forever gone,
And with a kiss please let me go--I must be moving on.
Yesterday the Sun was here
And now returned again,
Suns feel no passion or no fear
Experience no pain.
I wish that I could disappear
Dissolve into the sky
Then I could leave you weeping here
Without explaining why.
For when you sigh, in mis'ry true
With eyes of pain and sorrows
My life long hopes are shred in two--
I lose unkown tomorrows.
You say you love me--it’s a lie--
For if such thing was true,
You would not force me stay and die
Or tear my heart in two .
Love me hate me, let me go--
Know , sweet one, I loved you.
release me from this bitter hold
Your love's a curse come true.
For,when your door has finally closed
And I’ve gone down the stairs,
When you’re quiet and composed
You'll keep me in your prayers.
You see, I know love's strongest bond
Can navigate the sea.
In dreams such passion as we’ve found
Will still thrill me and thee.
If destiny hath blundered fair,
One day we'll meet, Dear Friend.
You'll kiss me softly if you dare,
And hold me once again.
