Let go, tis said the only way let go, watch love just fade away. Goodbye, the only option left goodbye, he said, left me bereft. And yet my heart will not submit for long ago, it did commit. Let go, I try to say goodbye but when I do, I boldly lie. |

Sometimes letting go is easier said than done, and the people telling you to do it that way have never tried! So, you have to decide what's best for you, I think....... this was wonderful, and it's sadness is rooted in reality, making it even more tender, my dear friend.......  The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

It's hard to let go of love when we convince ourselves this is the one and we don't want to let go of love thinking perhaps we will not find it again. When we realize we cannot own or possess love we become more comfortable with love...James |

That's the hard part, letting go! The mind wants relief but the heart won't give it! Good poem! |

You've said so much, so clearly, in so few lines Sandra. This was a powerful piece, and a perfect rhythm and flow that added to the impact of your words, really well done.  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Sandra, Can I relate to this! And yes, letting go is so hard, but sometimes it must be done, in order to learn how to hold on to something or someone new. Beautiful piece... Love, Elise |

Been there. Still there. Will always be there, for I prefer the "Titanic concept": "Never let go...". Always forgive, but never forget, for how can you know where you're at if you have no reference point to where you've been?
