Poem: Now is the Time to Let Go

A poem written for a friend

There is sadness in your eyes.

I sense a longing in your voice.

When I look at you,

all I want is to love you.

If only I could take your pain away.

But I trust it's there to help you.

If only you could see what I see,

know what I know.

Let me hold you my dear.

Just for a moment.

Feel my heart as your own.

Breathe my dear.

You’ve been holding your breath for far too long.

Now is the time to let go.
