the love that’s gone

You won, my love, you won this game,
The battle lines were drawn, the stakes were high,
I fought with all my heart, my soul, my flame,
But in the end, I had to let you go, to say goodbye.

The pain, it cuts so deep, it tears my heart,
Each breath I take, a struggle to survive,
The memories we shared, they tear me apart,
Yet I know that letting go is what will keep me alive.

I gave you everything, my love, my trust,
Poured out my heart, laid bare my soul,
Believed in us, our love, with all my might, I must,
But now, I stand alone, my dreams no longer whole.

The road ahead is dark, the future unclear,
But I will walk it, one step at a time,
For in my heart, your memory will always be near,
And though I let you go, I know you'll be forever mine.

The world may never understand this choice I made,
To let you go, to set you free,
But in the depths of my heart, the love we once had,
Will forever be a part of me, for eternity.
