Letting Go

I saw you walking yesterday

The sun setting on your back

And as you ventured on your way

I noticed a lightness to your step

A happiness to your demeanor

Your strides were long and true

Not seeing where you were going

Or who you were walking to

Then I realized the reason there

As you both came walking back

Her long dark hair that framed her face

Her smile, is what I lack

And suddenly I realized

My love I must let go

You have moved on, through with bitter tears

My dear I must let go

Alone am I, Through tear stained glass

Retreating in my mind

A sweeter place without you here

New memories I must find
