Letting go

Tina Boutell

I don't want to, but i have to, let you go.
I'll miss you so, but i have to, let you go.
I love you, but i have to let you go.
I don't want to, but i have to, let you go.
I can't just be your friend, anymore.
I have to let you go.
Because you have already, let me go.
So I must somehow learn,
to let,you go.
