Let It Flow

If you love something, let it go That’s what they taught me But my hands still curl Around the edge of “maybe” We said “it’s fine,” then smiled too hard And left the night unspoken Now I’m staring at the space Where a truth got broken Should I hold on? Should I let you drift? I keep asking the dark If a heart can split Let it flow, let it go Let it find its way If it comes back, I’ll know What the silence meant to say Let it flow, let it go I won’t force the tide If it’s mine, it comes alive If not, it floats on by We’re still solid, I believe that No doubt in the foundation But stone can soften slowly Under rain and patient seasons And the garden that we built Could go wild if we neglect it So I wonder if I’m brave Or just scared I’ll have to wreck it Should I reach for you? Should I leave the rest? There’s a question in my chest That won’t rest Let it flow, let it go Let it find its way If it comes back, I’ll know What the silence meant to say Let it flow, let it go I won’t force the tide If it’s mine, it comes alive If not, it floats on by Maybe love is not a door Maybe it’s a shoreline You can stand and wait for more Or learn to trust the line I’m not running after ghosts I’m not begging for a sign But if you drift back into view I’ll know you’re still mine Let it flow, let it go Let it find its way If it comes back, I’ll know What the silence meant to say Let it flow, let it go I won’t force the tide If it’s mine, it comes alive If not, it floats on by
