I Love You Just Enough Poem by Romeo Della Valle

A restless fever
Burning like a torch in your eyes…
My aching heart can feel
The desperate need you try to hide..
A part of you is longing
To be free from me, I know…
And even when my cries,
I come to realize:
That I love You
Just enough to let you go…

I can't stand to see
You searching for the words
To tell me gently, what went through…
If one of us must suffer,
It will give me
The satisfaction just to know,
That I was the one to ease your pain,
By saying what you want to hear: Bye!
I love you just enough, to let you go…
I love you just enough, to let you go…

Why should I go through the motion
Of pretending everything is fine,
Just holding off on letting you go
To satisfy myself until now?
I have been clinging to a hope
That is dying slowly…
I never came through my mind
That I was the one to say goodbye…
And this time forever!
