Let them go..

If you love someone, you’ll let them go,

Like the burnt tangerine leaves,

That plummet from the whispers of the sycamore trees,

In autumn’s gentle golden glow.

If you love someone, you’ll let them go,

Like mother birds nudge their fledglings out of the nest,

Compelling them to fly on their own.

If you love someone, you’ll let them go,

Like puffs of dandelions swaying in the breeze,

releasing their seeds to find a new home to grow.

If you love someone, you’ll let them go,

You’ll let them find light, you’ll let them find hope,

So with every star and moonlit glow,

Know that I loved you, and let you go..
