Letting go


there are times when life will give us
the hardest things to do
when we have to try to forget
what was at one time me and you
the changes that come to pass
are sometimes harder than you know
and its never all that easy
to be letting go.

if only love could carry
us through all those things
if it would just rise up
and take us on its wings
perhaps we'd never have the pain
or the loss that seems to grow
and we'd never have to suffer through
the ordeal of letting go.

If I could have done things different
or said a word or two
just any little thing at all
that might have inspired you
I certainly would have given it
just so that you would know
that I never wanted to be the one
that would have to be letting go.

I always will remember
the times that we both shared
and I'll never forget the times
that you tried so hard to care
but now I must be on my way
to the future, whatever it holds
and I hope some day you will understand
how much I hated letting go.
