Because I love you

They tell you that if you love someone you should let them go;
And that if they truly love you they will
come back.
I’ve been holding onto you like a person in dire need
of surviving hangs onto the edge of a cliff
they know they might fall off of-
Desperately.
But Babe;
I can’t do it anymore.
I love you with every cell in my body
Every fiber of my being
Every inch of my soul
And with every beat of my heart.
I am so incredibly sorry that everything happened
the way it did and I just-
We need more time.
I need more time.
I wasn’t ready to be in a relationship when we got together and I feared that would impact
us but
I wanted to believe that your love was enough
to heal me on it’s own,
It wasn’t.
I thought I’d found my peace with everything
that has hurt me-
I haven’t.
If I’m hurting I will hurt others without meaning to.
I gotta get myself straight.
So I’m letting you go-
And I’m doing it because I love you.
