I have to let You go

I have to let You go

When we first met

the attraction was undeniable

as time went by

I knew I should

but I just couldn’t let you go

We knew it was wrong

right from the start

but the mind so often

gives in to the heart

Before I knew

attraction became desire

as time went by

I knew I shouldn’t

but I gave into the fire

We knew it was wrong

right from the start

but the mind so often

gives in to the heart

passion fanned the fire

and before we knew

you were in love with me

and I was in love with you

Now here in silence

I stand at the crossroads

I love you so

but I also know

there is another at my home

I’m too old to start over again

been down that road before

you need someone to share your life

for now and ever more

We knew it was wrong

right from the start

but the mind so often

gives in to the heart

I’ve made this choice

but I need you to know

it is because I love you 

that I have to let you go
