I dream of you each night
I miss you more each day
This is how I cope
Since you went away
I sometimes stare at your picture
I re-read the poems you wrote
A long time ago
I gave up any hope
That one day you'd return
To walk back through that door
But as time passes by
I know you won't be back no more
At night I look to the heavens
Just like we use to do
I wish upon a star
I say a prayer for you
A prayer that what you wish for
Will one day come your way
When the night is over
Happiness will find you the next day
At the time I never understood
Why you were so intent on leaving
I know those first few days
I spent my time just grieving
But as the days slipped away
I started to realize
The loneliness I saw
Each time I looked into your eyes
So now I know that you had to go
Because of what was missing inside
Though it hurt to see you leave
I'm not too proud to say I cried
If you ever wonder
Why I just let you go
Letting go is also a way to show
Someone how much you love them so
True I may have lost you
But in my heart I know
That no matter what ever happens
I did the right thing to let you go
