Letting Go Poem by Langa Zanele

Letting Go

I'm letting you go
I forgive you for all the hurt you caused
I'm forgiving myself for holding on to the pain
I know you never meant to hurt me
And I never meant to hurt you too
It's crazy how my heart jumps everytime you call

You're telling me to let you go
So you can let me go
You're telling me the distance is the barrier
You're asking me if I've found someone new?
How could I?
You're asking me if is he better than you?
You don't know that nobody conpares to you
That nobody can ever give me the feeling you gave me
You're the only one of you

You're asking me if what would I do If I saw you, ?
I tell you I don't know
But inside I know I'd jump to hug you
Or even shed a tear
You're asking me if will we work it out or what?
That's the hardest question ever
Truth is I'm still not over you
And I'm trying to figure myself out
And I don't wanna promise you anything I can't keep

You're laughing so hard
That my heart smiles
We're both laughing about what happened
It's crazy isn't it?
Lastly you're telling me to say that iloveyou
How can I actually move on when you keep doing this to me?

At some point I have to let go of you
It might hurt a little bit
But I have to
As much as I love you
I'm letting you go baby J
I can't hold you in my heart forever
Especially if we both don't know what's next

Hearing you speaking
I kind of pictured you next to me
The universe might be so cruel to do this to us
But I guess it's goodbye
I know in my heart
I never loved as I did to you
Which makes it harder to love another
You're all that I knew
And adored

I'm leaving the past in the past
I'm letting my precious love go
Bitter sweet the truth is
I'm letting you go
Because I love you so much to hold you in
I hope you stay happy

I might let you go
But you'll always be my greatest chapter
My favourite character in all my written poetry
Because everytime I put my hand on it
I think of you
And I know you're my flawless rhythm
Good days to you
Till we meet again
I end my begins by
Dear Jmell.
