let you go

I can't do it

I can't say goodbye

Not when you mean so much

Not when I have no one else

Because I know this time it would be forever.

I don't want to let you go

Because then you would leave

And never come back

And life would be incomplete

Because you are my life, my purpose.

You've always been there for me

Shown me the way when I was lost

Laughed when all I wanted to do was cry

Or offered me your shoulder when I really needed to cry

Hugged me when you just knew something was off

You know what I mean when I say 'I'm fine'

You know exactly what to do to make me forget

I knew I could come running to you after a bad day

All those phone conversations

Talking about things that I have to go through now…alone

I need to let you go…
