The World That You Would Know

I saw that look upon your face You thought I did not see The disappointment in your eyes Clearly meant for me A vision of the future, It pressed into my brain I know that I could have my way And that you’d remain You’d regret your decision Though one that you would own No matter the adventure You’d not leave me alone That look I saw made me sad Clearly meant for me To realize what I must do With no guarantee My love is strong, though I am weak So, I must trust, let go To open doors for you to seek The world that you would know

It is hard to let go and denial kicks in..two souls invested in each other can't part easily. Like the way you ended it in acceptance...letting go..well crafted theme on life and love, Mike.
