“When I Let You Go”

A shimmer in the night sky, shrouds of misty gold.
Ebb and flow like fleeting breaths of love stories, untold.
Sun setting on a mountain top, upon crinkled sheets.
Warm that comes and goes, without a second to atone.

I write songs for a figment, a penny for my thoughts.
Vanishing into shadows, as truth brings in loss.
Time and time again, I reach for you in vain.
Something that might never be, a fantasy remains.

Neon lights and sapphire ice clink in glasses, cold.
Popcorn burning in the kitchen, time is running slow.
I hear you singing lullabies, feel your cautious touch.
Nothing but a daydream of a non-existent love.

Would you love me in years of void?
Would you search for me, fill my hopes and dreams?
Or will you come, only when I’ve let you go?

Would you love me in years of void?
Would you search for me, fill my hopes and dreams?
Or will you come, only when I’ve let you go?

If I let you go,
if I let you go,
if I let you go,
if I let you go,
if I let you go,

Will I finally know?
