I'm letting go of skies not blue
of prayers not answered -
of me and you...
I'm letting go of fairy-tale dreams
of songs of love -
of hidden things.
I'm letting go all thoughts of you
when we were one -
but now we're two.
I'm letting go the hopes I had
I'm smiling though -
not looking sad.
I'm letting go of love so right
we could have had -
all through the night...
I'm letting go of memories
that try to shine -
on lonely seas.
I'm letting go of you my dear
I'll say "So long..."
without one tear.........

Hey thanks for the reply.actually the poem
that you read was a modified version of one
I had written 6 years ago. when I split
with my wife.I can identify with with what
you said.its truely amazing how for some of
us how we can take lifes hurts,and
heartaches,and turn them around,and create
such wonderful poems.your poem letting go
was beautiful. well spoken.I liked it very
much.this world would be much nicer if more
people could do this!

This is lovely, I like the way it flows and it really moves me. (Thanks for your enthusiasm for my poem 'Seaside Cell" - it's very special to me.)
