My love must let you go...

When you asked to leave me this time, I felt sad and hurt inside

Not because it was the first time, but because I made you cry

You said I did not love you, even though you tried so hard

I couldn’t understand it because my heart is open wide

In the comfort of my arms I held you, but the prison of my love made you die

This is not the first time that you have left me, but this time I am weary.

I am all torn up inside and so I must decide

In the morning when this is over I hope you change your mind

I want to hold on to you forever, but now I know that can never be.

And If I never ever lose you, then I must let you go.

I cannot promise you a fairy, nor call my love a lie.

But if you feel that its time, then you must say good bye.

All I pledge to is not to leave you and keep an open door.

For the love I have inside me must let you walk out that door

I won’t say goodbye to the good times nor ever to the bad  

But the sad part I must face is to say goodbye to my heart

I don’t want to hold on to you and indeed I never could

So I must tell my heart to let you go.

Like a bird that has been set free,

My love must let you go.
