Fade

​

I was a fool
to have believed
I could let you leave
when for so long
I held so tightly
to a dream.

 

I was a fool
for imagining
I could live without
your gentle smile
and tender touch,

 

but I loved you too much.

 

I thought I loved you
enough that I
could let you go,

 

but it wasn't true.

 

I loved you more.

 

Now to exist
without you near
is just more pain
than I can bear.

 

I'll love you 'til
these dying dreams
all fade away.
