Letting Her Go
I am going to miss her
I already do miss her
I feel regret
regret for always fighting with her
not always being by her side
our lives will never be the same when she leaves
our heads will never be under the same roof again
there will be an empty seat at the table now
an emptiness in my heart
there will be days when I need her the most;
to make me laugh
to wipe away my tears
but I will run to her room to find an empty bed
only to remember she is gone
why does life move so fast
it isn't fair
don't let her go
please don't
I hope she knows I love her unconditionally
I hope she knows I can’t live without her
I hope she knows how much she means to me
I hope she knows I am scared
we must never live our lives in regret
for if we dwell on what could have been;
what could have been done
we sit in sorrow
unable to find the strength and motivation to live on
the moments with the people we love feel un-cherished
but it will be okay
we will all find a way to keep loving and keep living
even in the moments when we want to stop and stay right where we are
I will be okay
Maybe if I keep lying to myself it will get better
I am okay
