QUIETLY LETTING GO

QUIETLY LETTING GO

If being with me, caused you to become toxic

I would gladly let go of you for you

Being beside me might have caused you your delay

Delay in your purpose for this life

I would sever our ties just so you could move forward in life

All I wish is the best for you in this life

The dreams that you have for the world

I want you to achieve them all

And if I'm the obstacle in your life

I would gladly remove myself just so you could soar higher

I love you like a friend would, a sister

If letting go of your hand was all it took

For you to break free from this stagnant life

I would do everything I could to let go of you

Even if that meant watching you succeed in life from afar

I understand the consequences of letting go of this beautiful thing

That our relationship will never be the same

I would never be able to be silly and crazy around you

Come running to you whenever my world is falling apart

But I care more about you that I'm willing to sever it

Now I see you succeeding in life

doing the things you loved doing

being able to be what you always dream of

Even though it hurts that I can't be close to you like before

It's worth seeing the genuine smile on your face that I would do it all over again.
