Letting Go

“Letting Go” - by J. Samuelson Copyright©2001 07/20

I know this can’t go on
It hurts, but has to be
I need to be alone
Can’t do this, can’t you see?

I need to make this change
The stress is killing me
I need to, just to sleep
I just have to be free.

You didn’t do me wrong
Just more than I can take
You gave your best, I know
It’s better for our sake.

I’ve not done what I should
I should have been aware
That this was going to end
Even though it seems unfair.

You gave me all your love
And made me feel so much
But now I’ve realized
Right now, it’s not enough.

I need to spend my time
My daughter needs me more
I have to be her Father
Be with her, like before.

She needs all that I have
She must be number one
She’s my whole world to me
When all is said and done.

I know she needs me more
She told me, as she cried
She missed her Daddy’s time
I saw it in her eyes.

But you deserve to know
You’re wonderful, your great
Maybe this is better now
If this isn’t our fate.

I cannot keep us going
I shouldn’t, if there’s doubt
For now, I need my time alone
So I can figure out.

What is best for my life
And what my daughter needs
And end financial struggle
It’s how this has to be.

Letting Go, is difficult
I love you, so you know
This will be so hard on you
I’m sorry, but it’s so.

I hate I have to hurt you
And say these words I say
I’m sorry, I can’t help it
I’m Letting Go today.

I know you will get over me
I’m sorry I can’t stay
I have to do the right thing
I’m Letting Go today.

I know you’ll likely hate me
For hurting you this way
I never meant for this to come
Still, I’m Letting Go today.

Making sure I say this
Understand this please, I pray?
Know that I still love you
But I’m Letting Go today.
