I know you want me to let you go
To let you leave and let you grow
Away from me indefinitely
With no promise to return to me

And part of me wishes I would
Just lay down and let you go if I could
But that would be not fighting for you
And doing a disservice to what we’ve been through

I once read something about love
And in my mind it shines above
All logic and all common sense
Because my love for you is immense

“I’d rather look like a fool for love
Than be a slave to my own ego”

And in my mind I know the odds
Which is why I keep looking to god
Because I could hear “no” a hundred times
And you could read me a hundred lines

And I would still be in love with you
And your love I would still pursue
Because one day you might change you mind
And again our love would be intertwined

But this time would be for ever and ever
Our lives together, an adventurous endeavor
That would end only when death came around
When our lives and love were renowned and profound
