I let you go

I forgive you
Or so I try for my sake…
I want to sleep in peace.
And I need to be happy at wake.

I am still so angry.
But this was my first baby step.
This was my first little whim..
To shed one less tear if I wept.

I have said time again,
If I hurt myself, if I do wrong…
I will always forgive myself
Won’t let go of hands, held so long.

I let you go now.
I let you walk away.
I let all the tears and the mistakes
Not let me sway.

I let you start afresh…
Set sail another life and row.
I let you make new mistakes,
But today, I just want to let you go.
