I fear my dear
This is gone out of my hands
I have no control
I can only be but so bold

I knew when it started
Someone would end up brokenhearted
And never imagined
It would be me

Now I let you be
I want you to be free
You showed me how things ought to be

When you wandered astray
I didn’t bark or treat you like prey
I stayed
Quiet
Observing the moment
Taking note
Writing with my pen strokes
To plan for another day

The thing with me
Is that I will let you be
Never mean
Not cross or obscene
I just fade away
I will not stay
I will not delay

After the pain has washed away
The sunrises on a new day
I know what await me more
I know God will even the score

Bring me sunsets and lilies
All of the giddy feeling
When he brings me face-to-face
With my match
To roll around in a patch
Of wildflowers
Where we will laugh
And play for hours
Until the sun turns the sour
Spot in my soul back to sweetness
Sun kisses

So hurt me if you must
I’m still learning how to trust
Myself
Loving me
Has always been the part that’s sent me free
Kindly move over
Let me gain my composure
I will stop
Never again rush
For patience
Will set me free
For now
Let’s
Let
It
Be
