I dread the day
of letting go
I've set you far
too deep inside
From the day
my Heart did know
you were destined
to be my bride

The reason I run
from time to time
is this unrelenting
fear of mine
The reason I push
my love away
is the knowledge I
will lose you someday

It seems cruel
to those without
who always carry
shades of doubt
yet they know not
my enduring pain
worrying that love
is all in vain

How can I love
what I cannot keep?
That is the nightmare
and why I lose sleep
They say letting go
is the highest love
Maybe I've yet
to learn that enough

For now this sigh
and stark true void
is the only way
I've even employed
A way to ignore
the final end
and the pain of tomorrow
and the parting of friends
