There was a war in my brain every single night.
Of whether I should hang on hoping this tear would mend.
Or if I should just let go with all my might ,
To see if the story has really come to an end.

I closed my eyes and let my mouth whisper a muffled prayer,
A prayer that begged the Lord to let nothing but the best befall him.
If I am not the best,I told him I would say Goodbye and find it not an error.
Though to this day, our future remains a mystery..so bleak, so dim.

The lengths we would go to  give each other the best,
Is something we have never drawn boundaries for over the years.
It was hard to understand how this test,
And what you cannot understand often kindles your fears.

Warmth had turned to cold and we were careful to trust,
As we tried to act roles that clearly weren't meant .
Laughs dried out and silence settled as an uninvited guest .
As our tongues fumbled for scrupulous words to lend.

Our conversations that wandered from everyday things to most random of chatters.
Turned to awkward voids that we desperately tried to hide.
The resonating echoes of fragile dreams that slowly shatters,
Could be heard in our voices that brimmed with sadness that hid behind pride.

When you are so close yet you can't reach nowhere,
And when you know how it feels when the distance was never there.
That is when the pain is too much to bear,
And the burden too heavy to keep moving on to somewhere.

So I decided to let go of this struggle one dawn,
And striked up the courage to ask him to let go of my love.
His slow withdrawal was more painful than everything I had ever known.
If the end was anyhow to come,I decided...it might as well be now .

Helpless... I stood watching it unravelling before my eyes,
The unkind truth that this was what was wise.
