It's time for me to leave,
It's time for me to let you go,
It's time for me to say goodbye,
to someone and something that will never be mine...
Now, I give you your freedom,
And I give you your happiness,
As you travel down life's road
May every hurt you feel,
May every breathe you take,
May every storm that comes your way,
Make you more of a person then you already are...
She does not know how lucky,
and how blessed she is
To have someone like you...
And for the longest time I will not forget you
I know you will not be walking after me,
Cause I know you have found
What you were always looking for...
Deep in my heart, I will always love you
Cause I can never forget,
What you have done to my life...
Good-bye my friend, and may the angels be with you...forever!

A difficult write, I'm sure. A number of people have already noted that saying goodbye and letting go are the hardest things you can do in life, and honestly I have to concur. On the same token, however, I have found that writing about the experience, even if it's only for yourself and no one else ever sees it, can often be of great benefit. My only beef: "breathe" should be "breath", if you're referring to it as you would "a breath of fresh air" as opposed to "breathe the air in". Other than that, well penned and I thank you kindly for your comment on my own work.

Letting love go is a sweet irony. Having been there, I know there are few worse pains, but few so noble. And such is an aspect of life too. The write feels real, and sincere. I felt touched. Nice job.
Peace and rainbows,

This is so powerful. Ahh... it is so painful to read this.. seeing as I can relate and all. And does the other woman.. does she ever realise what she really has? I think not. I would often sit and think about how much "she" takes for granted every day of thier happy little life. I guess that is a mistake that "he" will have to face on his own... once he comes to understand what he has lost. This poem has such passion penned into it. It was great. Thanks so much ofr sharing this with me.... I really enjoyed. It is always nice to read something that you can truly relate to... best wishes.

Very moving
Astounding poem. It brought tears to my mind and into eyes. This poem is perfectly worded that I cannot think of something good enough to say about it. Your words were placed beautifully together. -
beautiful
The tears were felt, and the lump in my throat. You just pulled me a long way back. Such a sweet farewell. You are a beautiful poet. I'm glad I have come to this place and found a writer that speaks as you do. A person after my own heart.
