Just How To Let You Go

I thought I had finally
put my past behind me
I thought I'd moved on
had my kids, my family,
the man I thought I loved deeply
around me
and what I believed to be a
good life
then came a day
that stopped me on a dime
and slowly but surely
those memories came rushing back
flooding my mind
when I could not stop them 
from filling my every thought
that's when I knew
I don't know how
just to let you go

Time got away from us somehow
there's no way to get it back now
but fate has it's way
of making you see
the way some things should be
such as you and me
it took so long to find you again
yet I'm not sure if or when
I'll get to hold you
in my arms again
and to let you know that
I never knew how
just to let you go

I keep hoping
that I'll get the chance
to see you soon 
I really do love
and miss you
so many things to say
hope my words
won't get in the way
this time like before
and that's when
I'll finally face my fears
and tell you that
for all these years
I have not known how
nor would I ever want to know 
just how to let you go
