And I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how to let you go
Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how
To let you go
I don't know how
To let you go
A glowing ember
Burning hot Burning slow
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have sense to recognize
butI don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go

Wise words from a great talent.
We don't always get what we want but life has to go on.

Jean,

Yes, day by day but we are better for it.

Beautiful words Corby...it does take time when we yearn for what we once had...but for my own sake I have let go and I am so much better for it...sometimes we are so blinded by our desire and passion we don't see the real person. ♡
