Let Me Go


If I made a mistake I can't undo,
Would you walk away or see me through?
If my weight is more than love can hold,
Would you keep me close ... or let me go?


I spoke the words I can’t unsay,
And watched your silence drift away.
A single spark, a shattered trust
What’s left of us now turns to dust.


I don’t want freedom dressed as goodbye,
And I won’t beg you with a lie.
If love has reached the end we know,
Then turn away ... and let me go.

How can I let you go, when I carry you longingly inside all these years?
