I'm trying to let go

Patrisha Lee 1995 (Johnson City, TN)



I wanted to be your last love, Forever and always.
I'll love you now and Until my last days.

I'll be faithful and caring, Honest and kind.
I'll think of our future, Not what's behind.

I love you more, Than you'll ever know.
You're all I'll need, Please don't go.

If our journey is over, I'm sorry I failed.
You captured my heart, And then you bailed.

I hope you're happy, Even if I'm sad.
We were good together, Being apart was bad.

You want a new adventure, There's the door.
Hope she makes you happy, Like I couldn't before.

I'll always love you, I just wanted you to know.
I'm trying to move on, I'm trying to let go.
