Letting go
Each day I wake, open my eyes
The first thing that I do
I breathe in deep, and wrap myself
In memories of you
For at one time, when I would wake
You would be right there
And I would pull you close to me
Our life had not a care
But then things changed tween you and I
You no more could believe
That I could be the man for you
And so you chose to leave
I blame you not for what you did
I know that I was wrong
The choices that I made for us
Caused all to be undone
So now my life's a dusty shelf
and nothing lingers there
But memories of you and I
Your eyes, your skin, your hair.
And when that breath I take no more
the pain at last disposed
a new chapter starts within my life
The old one finally closed.
