I was watching you slowly drifting out of view. Lying in the dark, wide eyes and heavy heart. There was nothing I could say.
Bound to bridled words, you swallowed your unspoken hurt and tried to hold the space with amazing wasted grace, but nothing seemed to change. I let it all just fall away.
And it crashed, and I broke. Collapsed, and I woke. Oh Lord, I didn’t know that I’d found love until I had to let it go.
Holding all I’ve left and desperate in my hopelessness, dying to believe, I persevered to breathe on the ashes of the burnt out flame, trying to bring it back again.
And it crashed, and I broke. Collapsed, and I woke. Oh Lord, I didn’t know that I’d found love until I had to let it go.
