Poem: I don't know how to let you go

You use to say fate brought us together. That was the only explanation that came to mind to explain this attraction... This chemistry... This uniting of our souls.

Every moment with you to form these memories is torture to see these images replay in my mind. But hard to imagine who I would be without them.

I'm constantly reminded by my common sense that I don't know how to let you go.

When we touch... life stops and our souls recognizes each other presence in our bodies. The desire that neither one of us could escape were expressed through the pressing of our lips.

The yearning to be near you is sometimes unbearable. The thought of never seeing your face or feeling the warmth of your body close to mines is painful.

I'm constantly reminded by my heart that I don't know how to let you go.

At some point, we fell in love with each other. This fire grows that lives inside of us. Deep within I know I only exist for you.

We wasn't ready for each other. We are always changing, sometimes too much. Then it's the fear that dwells in us... Fear of hurt, fear of loving, fear of others.

But, I'm constantly reminded by my soul that I don't know how to let you go.

Our souls tied as one but our bodies live separate lives. Our hearts crys for each other but our mouths say we can't be together. Our eyes burn with want for each other but we are blinded by other faces.

We go on pretending that we would never work. We hide the pain of seeing each other try to move on. We fight the tears that want to leave our eyes because we can't let it bother us. We become strangers to each other because distance will eventually numb us. We say mean words to push each other away. We do what ever we have to do so we don't have to feel.

If we cannot be together... How do I let you go?
