Time to let it go
Time to remember the butterflies
Long nights and early mornings
Barely a beginning, no end in sight
But there is no middle
There is no cocoon to be wrapped with
Warm and safe..
Perhaps one day this could grow
What’s inside could blossom and fly free with the breeze
But now, good friend
Time to let it go
Time to move on and let fate take its hand
I cannot stand it anymore
Crawling at a pace so slow
That you don’t see we are going different ways
Wanting but not being able to have
Watching you discover other lovers
Feeling guilty as I find others too
Wondering what it is we have
Are you thinking of me tonight?
Time to let it go.
I’ll see you all too soon
But that’s too far away to stay attached by this
shivering thread
I won’t swim across the ocean
I will only fly for temporary travels
I’m no stronger than a migrating bird
When I leave, I will always return
Return home. Return to you.
I allow and relish this pull in all directions
But you,
You have a love so strong that weighs you down
To ask of you to leave behind this affair with land
With history, with trees and music
With the tastes of memories and sounds of home
It would kill the part of you I love the most
And so that is why
It’s time to let it go.
Good friend
If you can remember the times
When we believed in starry nights
When we believed something so beautiful
Could last
Lips tinted softly with words so sweet
Eyes painted sharp in moments too short
and now the tears of goodbye sting with regret
because I will always wonder what if..
I will always be waiting secretly to be yours.
For now,
Time to let it go.
