The One I Let Go

I held your hand beneath the fading sky,

But dreams are cruel, they learn to lie.

I built my walls and let you go,

Afraid of love I couldn’t show.

Your shadow lingers in the flame,

Each whisper still recalls your name.

I chased the world, but lost the soul,

The one I should have held, I let go.

Every star reminds me still,

Of all the dreams I failed to fill.

The silence screams your name.

I let the light fade away from my hands,

Watched our forever slip through the sands.

The echo of you still haunts my soul,

A price too deep, I’ll never know.

Now I live in the afterglow,

Of the one… I let go.

The night repeats what time erased,

Your gentle smile I still can’t face.

I crossed the line, I broke our fate,

And turned our love to empty hate.

Now every dawn feels just the same,

Another loss, another flame.

The wind repeats what hearts both know—

You were the one I let go.

Can heaven hear this hollow plea?

Can love forgive what’s left of me?

Beneath this fall of snow…

I let the light fade away from my hands,

Watched our forever slip through the sands.

The echo of you still haunts my soul,

A price too deep, I’ll never know.

Now I live in the afterglow,

Of the one… I let go.

If time could turn this pain to grace,

I’d run to you, through endless space.

But fate has closed the door…

I let the light fade away from my hands,

As fate erased our promised lands.

The echo of you still haunts my soul,

Through every night I can’t control.

Now I live, but I’ll never know,

How to forgive… the one I let go.

“I let go…” until silence
