It’s hard to say Goodbye

It’s hard to say goodbye When love still lingers in the room But silence speaks the loudest When hearts no longer move in tune I held your laughter like a flame Lit my nights, whispered my name But love’s not always meant to stay When dreams pull hearts in different ways We saw the world through different skies You needed wings, I needed time And though I’d give the world to try I won’t be the reason you can’t fly So I’m letting go with love Not because I want to But because I must I’ll carry your warmth in the cold But I won’t hold what needs to unfold This is not the end of all I feel But the start of learning how to heal I still remember how you smiled The way your voice could calm the wild But peace is more than holding tight Sometimes love means choosing right I ask the stars how to forget The echo of you I still regret But maybe time will teach my soul To bless the part you made me whole So I’m letting go with love Not because I want to But because I must I’ll carry your warmth in the cold But I won’t hold what needs to unfold This is not the end of all I feel But the start of learning how to heal I won’t pretend I’m over you But I won’t let my sorrow pull you through You deserve a sky without my rain And I deserve to breathe again So I’m letting go with love Not because I want to But because I trust That somewhere down this winding road We’ll find the peace we couldn’t hold This is not the end of all we were But the grace of loving from afar It’s hard to say goodbye But I’ll whisper it with care You’ll always be a part of me Even when you’re not there
