Hard To Let Go Poem by Ray Hansell

When I am around you
Old feelings come alive
I wish I could reach out
To pull you close to me

But years ago we both vowed
That we would remain just friends
But I can't help myself
Whenever you are near

I feel a wanting in my heart
To hold you in my arms
But I know that would be wrong
I know it would let us both down

I wish I didn't still care for you
I wish I could let go
But every time I see your face
I get back those feeling from long ago

They say loving is never easy
But letting go is more difficult
Especially when I keep feeling fellings
That I know shouldn't be felt

I know loving someone is never wrong
But it was love that we lost
I sometimes wonder every now and then
If love could ever find it's way to us again
