How?

How do you say goodbye?

When the hurting goes so deep

When the memories are fading

They’re becoming hard to keep

How do you let it go?

Something you’ve held onto tight

You want to remember everything

And try with all your might

How do you let yourself free?

From the pain residing deep inside

Granting yourself the peace

Knowing that you have tried

How do you forgive yourself?

For allowing yourself to be

Living what seems a new life

And letting yourself be happy

How do you continue on?

When you feel a part is gone

Caught in this paradox

For this person you still long
