Letting go of a true love is the hardest thing to do.

I held you close to my heart,
Then you left me in silence.
I longed to hear your voice again,
The memory of your words called to me like Sirens.

It did not matter, the danger ahead.
I wanted to hear that sweet song play again.
Each time a memory of you popped up in my head.
For that very short moment, I was in heaven.

Then the daggers would pierce my heart,
My stomach would turn from the ache of missing you.
I’d cry my eyes out, and wish I was dead.
I’d feel so helpless, and there was nothing I could do.

I knew I had to let you go,
But I convinced myself the pain was all I had left of you.
Even now I still hope and pray,
That you will come and make my dream come true.

You touched my heart deeply,
And you did it from a million miles afar.
I’d give anything in the world to have you back.
Hell I’d give anything in the world just to know where you are.

So I could tell you all that I’m aching to tell you.
So I could show you, I’ve finally become a different man.
To prove that my love for you was really true.
To show you even after all this time, I still kept up with our plan.

    Yes, in spite of everything, the longing to be with that special one., even when it becomes impossible, is a heart churning, and it never really goes away!

    You express this very well.
