I'm Letting Go, Please Don't Cry

...................about leaving old times behind and moving on
Your hugs are so warm that i can't let go
and your touch is so soft that it makes me feel low
I let you out of my heart for a second unguarded
I thought we were forever, never unparted
Alas I was so very wrong
So now I have to remain so very strong
This time I will have to remember though
That it's the last time to let go
It hurts too much to keep being rejected
Someone new for my heart will be elected
I've chased you long enough now
The shows over, lets take a bow
Release the warm hug
Stop looking like a mug
You told me that you will 'always' love me
That 'forever' has finished, its clear to see
We will split our paths, hope has gone
Our light is not as bright as it once shone
This time it’s different to before, you see
It's a final farewell, and to let it be
You better not change your mind this time however
Because this time I'm leaving our love in the past forever
I used to have such a strong love for you
And I'm 90% sure you felt the same too
But now it’s at a painful end
Its goodbye from here my good friend
I am not returning back to those ways
That's in the past, no more of those days
I understand finally what you mean when you say
That it’s a bad idea, we need space, its a small price to pay
For the pain we will surely endure when we split
Just give me some time for a bit
But all I ask of you while we separate and let our love die
When I introduce you to my new love... please don’t cry
Because it was your decision to split like this my dear
So as a result, you may face a new love in my life, as you may fear
But it's better for both of us to end this way
I don't know what else there's left to say
It was nice while it lasted, nice for a while
But the pain we caused each other was vile
So night night my dear, the day is leaving
No more heart breaks or love will be left for thieving
Nice to know you but I'll be on my way
You better have meant it, or its you who pays
I'm not crawling back, not this time my dear
I'm moving on, I'm making it clear
