The Letting Go @Retrophaze

Topic - Forgiveness

How am I supposed to let you go when you aren't truly gone?

You are flesh and blood and only miles away, only hours away

How am I supposed to let you go when you aren't truly gone?

It feels like I kissed the lids of your closed eyes yesterday

How am I supposed to let you go when you aren't truly gone?

I can still feel us intertwined in your bed and I felt safe.

How am I supposed to let you go when you aren't truly gone?

When all I want is to hear your voice...and to be able to forgive you.

So I can let go.
