Letting Go...

Let go…
Little by little
Bit by bit
Of memories once held dear
Once held precious

Let go…
Of the bittersweet emotions
At times exquisite
At other times heartbreaking

No use in hoping
No use in pretending
That you’re more to him than a passing fancy
More than a stranger, more than a friend.

Let go…
Slowly but with certainty
Give your heart a chance to rest.
A chance to recover
A chance to forget.

Let go…
Little by little
Bit by bit
Bear the agonizing pain
Of a love unreturned,
A love unrequited.
