Let Go

***
Pause your universe a while, 
I’m trying to understand your world. 
I’ll never reach your edges— 
You slip away again, unfurled. 

Trapped inside the rules you made, 
Spinning circles all alone. 
I fall behind, lost in thinking: 
I no longer know who I am.

Why keep haunting me with worry? 
I’m not yours—just let me go… 
Time has taught me this: it’s wisdom, 
Long ago, I forgave you so.

In the maze of your silence, 
Every step feels like a lie. 
I’ve lost the key to your doorway— 
The one I once unlocked with joy—by my own hand.

I’m tired of being your shadow, 
Forgotten, misunderstood. 
I break these bonds without anger— 
Walk away from dreams that stood.

Why keep haunting me with worry? 
I’m not yours—just let me go… 
Time has taught me this: it’s wisdom, 
Long ago, I forgave you so.

Let your universe fly onward 
To strange skies I’ll never know. 
I release this pain completely— 
So love’s true shape might reappear.

You don’t haunt me now with worry. 
I have finally let you go. 
Time is wisdom—I embrace it. 
Long ago, I forgave us both…
