The pain of letting go

yes it hurts very much so

Losing a love that you thought

was true changes your point of view.

Yet, people come and go in our life

for a temporary moment to feed us that

which what we need even in strife.

Like shadows within the night

love flickers within the candle lite

As the new day dawns the feeling of cold sets in

as we must let go of the embrace.

Yet the memory can never be erased.

Suddenly the dream is over

the harsh reality sets in of our loss over the love

we thought was real.

As sometimes quickly rushing in like a wave

so it ebbs away just the same.

All we are left with is the pain and wonder what went wrong

as we ponder listening to a sad song.

Letting go hurts but is all we can do

for one cannot grow within the tree of life

sitting in one place crying and wondering what

what to do.

Yes often times the only friends we really have is regret

and loneliness. They will always be our constant companions

they will never leave us nor forsake us.

People come and go, good and bad they are our teachers their value is

measured by how well we learned our lesson.

Not much reason to be sad for let us be glad in a good season.

Let go all you fear to lose when faced with a time to choose between

what is important to save and what you must let loose.
