Letting Go

My hand immediately regrets letting go
You're trying to put this on hold, trying to promise you'll be back, but I know so much
better than that

I know I can come on strong
I know I can be too hot or too cold
These games we're forced to play are not for me

I gain life from having someone to love, someone to hold, someone to call home
I don't do too well with pretending
I won't lie and say I'm fine sleeping alone

And maybe that's too much for you and that's disappointing
It's disheartening to see a future refuse to involve me
Exhausting to see another lover turn their back
The pattern tells me to tighten up

To quit placing potential on pedestals
But my intrusive thoughts are fairy tales and I don't put them there
I don't choose to care the way I do
I just do

But I do refuse to believe there isn't someone that will too because
Changing the way I nurture may unsubscribe me from this torture
But I cannot decrease the peace within me
Because if I believe any less in the love for which I breathe
How will the universe know I'm ready, that I'm open to receive
Someone to appreciate this passion, someone to honor me, someone to see the world in my
eyes, be that release from disappointment
The one unafraid of being loved always in all ways, you are one
You are one my hand hates to let go of

Our happy ending was supposed to be so sweet
I hate that I won't taste it
I hate that it won't be you
