How can I let you go,
When I feel your heart beat like a quiet drum,
Pulling me closer with every throb,
A rhythm I cannot escape?
Your soul, a quiet cry in the dark,
Unheard yet so loud in its longing,
A love unknown,
Waiting to bloom in the warmth of my arms.
How can I let you go?
It's strange, the way we've met—
Different roads, different lives,
And yet, I feel you growing inside me,
A vine twisting softly through my heart.
Your eyes, haunted by the scars of life,
Now searching for something more,
Like sunlight trying to pierce the clouds,
Your hesitation, yet the softness in your touch,
As if you are learning to trust again.
How can I let you go,
When I hear your heart calling me home,
A sound so familiar, so new,
My arms waiting to shelter you forever.
How can I let you go?
You are part of me now—
I can feel it in the air when you are near,
Like a breath taken after too long underwater,
My lungs catch when I see you,
And in that moment, nothing matters.
We are more than just two souls,
We are one, as if the universe aligned
In this moment, in this touch.
No distance can undo what we've become.
How can I let you go,
When love flows between us like a river,
Unstoppable, untamed,
When you are everything I never knew I needed,
When my arms long to hold you,
To shelter you from the storms?
How can I let you go?
