Letting Go

This poem's about...letting go... I have a specific meaning behind it, but interpret as you wish.

Not sure you know I feel this way
But I’ve got something to say:
Lately I’ve been thinking of you
In fact, it’s all I ever do
I thought that you and I could be
Something we could never be
I’ve never felt so connected
And all the while, so rejected
But now I see it’s all a joke
It was nothing but false hope
I should have known that it wouldn’t last
You’re not my future; you’re my past
I won’t lie; it still hurts
But living a lie would hurt worse
These feelings I know I should discard
But forgetting you is just so hard
So I’m writing this to make my peace
Maybe now my pain will cease
But do please stop me if I’m wrong
And you’ve felt the same all along

What fantastic flow...I am learning that the past is best left there.. This is really wonderful!

Aw, man. I know the feeling.

Nice work, nice work indeed.

this is heartbreaking to read...SO beautifully expressed ...It is hard to let go, but as you said, even harder to live a lie...The end tugs at the heartstrings...
Excellent

I don't know your specific meaning behind it
But i guess it's about separating from someone
And it do hurts when you 'let go', especially when you had dreams together and they all lay shattered in the end

It's beautifully written ..
I liked it
