Time To Let Go

Time to let go
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
Drops of rain 
Streams of moving water 
Trees clothed with colour 
Time for change

A thought in mind
A picture in hand
A change of heart 
A choice to make

Still holding on to hope
Still feeding on yesterday
Yesterday cannot secure my tomorrow
Yesterday must become history

Every hug; every kiss
Every smile on her face
All a memory; all gone forever
Cannot hold on to yesterday


What I need is more than this love
More than a memory
More than a dream, in the night
I deserve more; you deserve more 

Time to close the chapter
Time for restoration
This love has proven to be too weak
Time to let it go; forever 

                                                                                                                29 January 2013
