Letting You Go, But Not Our Love

I stand alone, on a sandy beach

My tears flowing into the sea,

Because I know you are out of reach

And no longer here with me.

 

The fact is that you will never return

And I can’t trade anything to get you back too;

I just have to learn

To go on in life, without you.

 

It is not as easy as I say

As millions of memories together we share

Which I can’t forget any day

There are as many as the drops in the sea I now stare.

 

I haven’t regained interest in anything,

It has been already more than a year.

Times were so disturbing you know

Without my love so dear.

 

I reveal my sorrow to the people who care

You can’t even do that too,

As I can’t see you I think I wasn’t aware

That it might be so hard for you.

 

But now you just worry of me,

You might be watching me as is the moon,

Wherever you are, happy I want you to be

And for that I promise, happy I will be soon.

 

You know every problem, with which I’ve dealt,

Nothing from you I can hide.

I’ve realized that love isn’t to be seen, it is to be felt

That your love is within me though not at my side.

 

People say that you are gone

Though you only can’t be seen.

What they say is really wrong

You are around as you’ve always been.

 

I never let my tears fall to the ground,

So I usually come down to the shore.

As I don’t want them to reach you,

That will only hurt you more.

 

On me, all have lost hope.

That on my life I’ve given up, I don’t want you to regret

So with my failures I’ve learnt to cope

And am ready to deal with success.

 

I’m sorry to keep you here and for now you can go,

When sometimes you come to visit you will see.

I’ll make you smile so much you know

By being the old me.

 

I don’t have any problem with God at all

That he took you away from life’s race,

For all that I know

Is that now you are in a better place.

 

I have decided to head back now, to stop my tears,

From now on I’ll remember you as my wonderful memory.

I’ll laugh, I’ll cry, I’ll overcome my fears

But know that I’ll love you for eternity.
