I have to let go

by Rebecca CArnahan   Apr 10, 2006


I loved you
To me, you were great
I thought no matter what
For you, I'd wait

I waited for your letters
Day after day
I wanted us to work
in every single way

As time went on
I began to realize
How much pain I'd go through
Every time we'd have to say goodbye.

Thats when it hit me
I'd be waiting forever,
For the one i love
So we could be together

I realized I couldn't do it
I couldn't take the pain
there was too much to lose
Not enough to gain

I'm sorry baby
I have to let go
I'll always love you
I hope you know

But my heart's done dreaming
And playing pretend
I have to face the facts
And let "us" end

Maybe if things were different,
Different time or place,
We could of made it work,
But thats not the case

I'll always remember us.
And my love for you
I'll always be your friend
No matter what you do.

So now let's go our separate ways
And let this false hope die
All i can say is...
I love you and goodbye.

* I wrote this poem a week b4 Brandon came home from boot camp... since then we're now back together. He's in N.C. and I'm in Oh. and we're making it work b/c we love each other!
