Pains of Release

Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing to do.

You brought with you a new and gentle light

Something happened to me that I never believed I would feel

Every minute a wild and unfathomable delight

Sometimes, you were the only thing that was real

-

Turn the hands of time forward and see the world today

Nothing stands the test

And for that, we all will have to pay

Because we were stupid like the rest

-

Such beauty and wonderment in the light as it begins

Why did we not know, or were we too blind to see

All the best things begin to end when we forget our sins

We were in a world of love and beauty, for which we were unworthy

    Is anyone worthy of love? And yet all deserve to be loved.
