Letting Go

It’s hard but I know I have to

By Ryan BurkeyPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

My heart’s deepest ache — and calling — is:

Letting go of the one I love,

Out of my life forever,

If it makes you happy,

Brings your soul to peace,

Then it’s worth it

Losing you

Is my

Gain
