Spoken WORDS

Letting Go

So I'll let go, let go, let go. So you can smile someday.

Dear you, who has loved me and left me alone,
To the promises we kept buried to the stone.

It's time to face the music,
This moment, let's be realistic.

The love what we once had,
It's still there, and we still have it bad.

But we took more from what we should have gained,
I believe it's time for the bill to be paid.

It's time to say the things that were never said,
Time to cry the tears that were never shed
Time to lose the feelings from back when we still cared
Time to face the truth of which we were scared.

Scared to accept for it would be the end,
The end to this foolish game of which we called love,
Love which we thought would keep on soaring up above,
Above the blue skies where beneath it stood you and I.

Happy memories I shall keep,
The same memories I'll remember when I weep.
Happy memories they will always be,
But forgotten like you and me.

In this small shared moment between us two,
For one last time, I'll be telling you how much I love you.

So with this heavy heart of mine,
For the first time, it listened to my mind.

My mind that tells me we won't have to each other for a while,
For a while that could turn into eternity.

So, for you to have that smile back on your face,
I'll quickly stop at this end of the race.

Promise me that you'll be happy.
Be happy for eternity.

For with this hand of mine atop of yours I know,
Finally, I'm letting go.
