Learning to Let go

After twenty-six years, I did not expect

To be saying these words I speak,

We were always going to be there

Together, making each other complete.

And now my life is not so sure,

I struggle through each day,

because you decided you’d had enough,

and chose to walk away.

Was it something that I did not say?

Something I did not do?

I guess I’ll never know,

But I have to tell you so,

I’m having trouble letting go.

Nothing is ever perfect,

We had our little routine.

Somewhere along the journey

We encountered things unseen.

Little things became so big

That our love could not repair,

We both got disillusioned

And started not to care.

Was it something that I said?

Or something that I did?

I guess I’ll never know,

But I need to tell you so,

I have a real problem with letting go.

Love is not for the faint-hearted,

It seems all good things must end,

But I wish I had confronted you

Right before the end.

And told you in a quiet voice

No malice or bad intent,

I don’t blame you for your choice

Go freely with my consent.

It’s taken me a long time,

I’ve had problems letting go,

But now I see the path ahead

It was more than something done or said

I can finally let go

I can finally let go.

Till next time,

Calvin
