Let Him Go

Now is the time I have to let him go For a while my blood will slowly flow He’s not interested I’ve seen at last But our little relationship happened so fast What don’t I have that other girls do? Why can’t he love me as much as I love him, too? He’s so far away and not in my arms Apparently I am losing all of my charms I guess it wasn’t meant to be Me with him and him with me Tears fall faster now then before Like someone just slammed my love door I don’t understand what was different here What questions do I ask myself now when I stand in the mirror? He told me once before that my eyes he noticed first I don’t believe anything could possibly get any worse I knew if he moved I’d never see him again Possibly I thought about one too many sins? My world was dark before he entered in It brightened up when he emerged into my den My world was clear and now it’s smoggy My breathing was normal and now it’s foggy My frown permanently went upside-down Our love radiated from the sky to the ground So many happy times we did share Now he doesn’t even care So much faith and so much love So many kisses and so many hugs So much knowledge he taught me to do I’m not ready to start all over new I wish he was here to brighten my days I wish he was here to take away my bad ways I wish he was here to open my eyes I still feel his touch against my thighs I can see his hazel eyes staring at me I’m in love with him so much --- why can’t he see? He kept me straight as straight as can be Then he turned his back and left me I was told he was going to do this I didn’t want to believe it and that was not my one wish I wished for us to be happy again I wished for us to fix our sins I wished for us to have good health I never much worried about wealth I have visions of his exotic hazel eyes I have so many questions --- when’s and why’s I still see his smile and his perfect face I still dream about his first kiss and the sweet taste I still feel his arms around my waist Over and over these visions I traced But now he’s gone and there’s nothing I can do But to heal all over and start over brand new.
