Had to let go...

by Matthew Schut   Jan 30, 2009


Please just listen to me before you push me away
This may hurt, but I have a few things to say
I will never forget the memories that we have made
Remember when we promised the love would never fade away?

Oh the nights we would lie awake and talk
Those beautiful nights that we would just go out and walk
How about the times that we would lay under the sky
You laying on my chest, never wanting to say goodbye

You saw your first shooting star when you were with me
A tear came running down your cheek so perfectly
Those nights that you would fall asleep on my chest
We were perfect together, better than the rest

Everyone wanted to be like us, the perfect team
It's like we were trapped in our own little dream
Remember the nights that I would hold you tight
And promising that we would never fight

Do you remember all the pictures we would take
Loving you was my passion, the feelings were not fake
Remember the Valentine's day that made you cry
You were so happy, you had the perfect guy

Camping was also a good time with you
Staring into your beautiful eyes, bright blue
How about the time I washed your hair in the river
Or at night when I held you because you started to quiver

The many times of making dinner together
Oh how we both promised each other forever
What about the first time that I had to meet your dad
So many great memories that we had

What about the time we just looked each other in the eyes
Hours would pass which we would always be surprised
There are so many great memories that we made
But I would have never guessed that it would fade

Those nights staying awake soon turned to fights
Time spent together, never seem to be right
We both wished that we had something more
There was nothing left that we adored

As much as we both wanted it, we had to end
There was nothing left that we could mend
Three years together soon went down the drain
It was not worth holding onto all the pain

So the day came when we had to look at each other
And say that we are going to go seek another
We told each other that it was never going to work again
We cried as we had to walk away from our best friend

How were we going to let go of the love
Angels were crying from heaven above
These two lovers that have decided to walk away
Crying and missing each other, but had to make it through each day

I saw you one day and you looked so sad
I could see the feelings that you still had
We both smiled and suddenly embraced
Tears poured down both our face

We held each other for what seemed like forever
Crying in each other's arms, happily together
We then looked each other and knew it was so
We were no longer, we had to let go
