Try

When I think of you, I sincerely think of true pure love
When I dream of a love that deep, you are the one in which I dream of
A love so kind and tender
It would make a heart skip a beat and leave a soul to certain surrender
A love extremely full of passion, so far beyond lust
An honestly so brutal, that you know with every essence of your being in them you can 
completely trust

However, it has been explained to me, many times, and in so many ways
That the time has come for me to say
Even feeling how I do for you
In this moment, you don’t feel that way for me to
Just because I sense you do
Don’t just make it real or true
Your silence, thus far, speaks quietly in loud earth shattering volumes, which drove me insane
Now it’s time to find myself some sort of comfort while I struggle to let go of the pain
I have to start living life for me
There’s so much of the world to see
Who knows what I will or won’t find
However, I have to get out there and stop leaving me behind

You will always hold a huge part
Of my mind, my soul, most importantly my heart
But you’ve known that from the day we met, yeah they were yours from the very start
I have to do this for you, but more so, I need this so badly for me
So down this new road I’ll walk not yet knowing where it’s going to lead or what’s quite going 
to come to be
And who knows what the days ahead will bring to us
But for now, I can’t any longer sit on this shelf collecting all this dust
When and if you’re ever ready for us to be any part in each other’s lives, I’m only just a 
phone call away
Until that time, that I know may never come, your memory I will hold safe everyday
I hope this is only so long and not goodbye
And I can’t, nor will I promise that I won’t have tears that I may sometimes need to cry
All I can say is to do my best with moving on with my life, all I can surly promise is to, 
everyday and each night, keep true to try
