Love Me but Let Me Go

by Lovina   Feb 19, 2008


There came a day when I realized,
I wasn't happy anymore..
No, I'm not throwing our year long relationship away,
but looking at whats best for both of us.
I knew you weren't happy and neither was I.
All the fussing, fighting, and hurtful things you said,
they finally got to me.
So yes, you can love me, but let me go.
I'm not saying I don't care,
I'm not saying I would be happy if you were completely gone,
I'm just saying, I want my freedom,
I want to be happy again.
I do miss you, I do care about you,
I still want you in my life, it may not be the same
as it was before, but I don't want you gone for good.
You made me happy, I was in love.
We shared a lot of tears, smiles, frowns, and laughs.
I still want that to go on. I still hold everything
I shared with you close to my heart.
Like you said though, everyone's got to learn somewhere.
I want you to know, I do still care, I do still want to be there for you. I want to be your best, closest friend, always.
And even though we aren't together, I'll still talk, just
give me time. All I'm asking for right now is,
Please, love me, but let me go.

    Heey girl! thank you soo mucch for your advice and im sorry for what you have been going through with that guy, hope you have found somebody better that him..
    For me i broke up with this guy, or he wanted to take a little time for himself, and i said sure cause im so weak around him.. i dont know how to leave him, so maybe this was the best for us both.. he didnt make me feel as good as he should have done, it was more that he made me feel bad. and i didnt deserve to feel bad so thats when i knew that it wasnt good for me.. but still when he talks to me i feel so weak and that he can almost say anything, but im trying not to talk to him that much, or even at all. i still believe in love and that my prince charming will come some day, maybe mine is just taking a little longer way=)
