I love you,
There I said it.
Now you know how I really felt.
You were more than my best friend.
I loved you more than anything.
I let you go all those years ago to make you happy,
Now I must do the same all over again,
So that you can rest in peace.
Soar free in the heavens.
I no longer need to hold you back from forever,
For I know in the blink of an eye,
We'll be together again and flying together.
I can wipe my own tears now,
I have someone in heaven watching out for me,
But you no longer have to be stuck here,
I'm letting you go for not only you, but myself too.
Holding you back from eternity is like damning you.
Keeping you wrapped up in my pain, no more.
I need to allow myself to smile again,
I know that's what you want to see.
Soon I'll be smiling all the time,
And let my tears end.
Remember all the good times we had,
And let my heart mend.
*Dedicated to my best friend Chad Warren Beckham (March 5, 1981 - May 9, 2004) - Be free from my sadness, I love you and you deserve to fly high and be happy.*
