But I won't deplore all those years
When I think of you every night.
Even shedding those bloody tears,
And all I need is a hug sop tight.

I tried to stay away from you
Even trying to hate you.
I know I'm being hard on myself
Yet it's the right thing to do.

I started to admire other guys,
And see the rest of the world.
But I cannot live a life full of ties,
For I thought it's you even when I grow old.

And suddenly I grew tired.
So helpless that I cried.
I don't want anymore pain
O God, I think I'm going insane !

And finally I realized something -
Life isn't only crying.
To move one, I have to let go.
These feelings of mine for you to grow.

"It's not the end of the world, my dear,"
Mom said to me.
"So get up and dry those tears,
There are so many things around you that
you must see."

Now everything seems fine.
I learned to accept facts and wait for the
right time.
Little by little I'm letting go,
And it makes me more happy to do so.

To end this poem, I want you to know,
You've been so special to me that it's hard
to let you go.
I know forever in my heart you'll always be here.
but only to remain as a cherished memory.
