Mistake of Letting Go

I never knew what it could mean

When one splits into two

But I found out, the hardest way

When I let go of you.

I knew you ought to learn to love

And treat each person fair

You learned too well, I now can say

Cause you've finally learned to care

It's true your words can still be harsh

Your actions rash and bold

And maybe you are still a brat

And sometimes act so cold

Yet I've seen your eyes have changed

Respect I see in them

I've heard the gentleness in your voice

You weren't like that then

I know I should be happy now

But why does my heart ache so?

Is it because I've realized that

You've also let me go?

You may not have noticed, but I sure did

That we were no longer one

You have your life, I have my own

Our bond will soon be gone

Unconsciously, you then forget

What we had once held dear

And now, even when I speak

It seems you cannot hear

I think I may have made mistakes

When I let you learn to care

Cause you're around when they need you

But never when I need you there

But even if it hurts this much

I cannot say you're wrong

Cause I'm the one who let you go

But forgot to remain strong

But there was another mistake,

Something I forgot to do

Because I say I've let you go

Still I'm holding on to you

-The End-
