Letting go...

Dear OOMA:

Thank you for tolerating my obsession. Thank you for not running screaming for the hills. I fell for you at a time when I needed someone to put all the misplaced emotiions and affections I had and you happened to be there. You said the things no one has said to me in a long time. You treated me like I was so special and like I meant something. You treated me like I was worth something and I haven't had that in a long, long time. Thank you for giving me that gift. You will always be special in my heart, no matter where our journey takes us from here.

My gift to you is letting you go.


I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place
I have held the winter's son
Become one
Set my pace
Isn't that what we wanted all along
Freedom like a stone
Maybe we were wrong
But I can say goodbye
Now that the passion's died
Still it comes so slow
The letting go

Piece by piece I take apart
This complicated heart
And I hope to find
Something I can prove is real
I can feel is truth
I can say is mine
That's all I ever wanted to be
The closer I got
The further I could see
But when lovers change
And the night feels strange
We choose our road
The letting go

I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place
