"I Must Let You Go, My Dear"

Heartbreak, having to let someone go to be able to move on with your life.

"I Must Let you go, my dear"

Love is so bittersweet,
I lie awake at night; longing to hold the one I love, my dear.
Just to feel the warmth of your body, so near
But when the one I love, doesn’t share the essence of that love
Then, I must let you go, my dear,

Hopefully one day, the one that I have loved
Will feel the love, which is in my heart,
And you will know what I carry so deep in me
But I must let you go, my dear.

For the love will grow, so bitter in your heart,
Therefore, I must let you go, my dear,

One day, not so far away, my dear
You will know
What you could have had, that was so near.

By then it will have been too late, my dear
For I fear for my heart, my dear
So I must let you go, my dear
