Let you go

Your touch makes me feel
Like I can do anything
Your words encourage me
To succeed to be the best I can be
With you next to me
I feel like I can truly be who ever I want to be
You care about everything I say
You listen to every complaint I make
You want me to go far
Even if that means leaving you behind
You want me to be the best I can be
At that moment everything seemed perfect
I had everything I could ever want
You presence, my parents, my friends, myself
I had the trust I wanted
I had the respect I needed
I had the love I longed for
And no matter what happened I knew I had you
How everything can change in such fast a time
How so many people, can just brake down and cry
Weather or not I chose to let you go
There is something that I want you to know
Every breath I take I think of you
Every move I make I long for you
Every tear I cry, I will stop when I think of you
Even though I don’t see you
Everyday I feel you
And I want you to know
I will always trust you
But for right now
I have to let you go
But promise me
You will always know……

Let You Go

From the beginning to the end, I feel that this is something that has been experienced by everyone at some point in life or will soon enough.

I like how you took the time to choose certain words that really got the message across. That love can be experienced, and change everything, and even if you let it go, the person and that feeling is never truly lost.

I think that you provide a lot of background and closure that allows the reader to know the feelings that were happening then, what ones are being felt now, and what will be felt in the future to.
