Sometimes you have to let go of someone to show how much you love her.

I Honestly Love You

Can’t you see?
It’s hard for me
To let you go, Gracie.

Look into my eyes
The pain is unbearable
But I’ll not cry.

Now we have to cross
The bridge of “past and present”
Knowing what I’ll have to lose.

Guess I have to try
To forget and let you go
The memories I’ll carry till I die.

But what I lost is you,
Forever I’ll cherish our love
But there’s nothing I can do!

I called out your name,
In bed, heartbroken I lay,
To bleed in pain!

    That’s so heartbreaking, I guess we’ve all been there. What a lovely poem and I love the choice of song, one of my favourites by Olivia NJ.
