I Let You Get Away

Why do I feel lost,
Clinging to memories,
When we had each other,
Now I’m just lonely,
And I remember the wind,
Your hair how it flowed,
Like a river so gently,
True love and it showed,
In the darkness of night,
And the taste of your kiss,
It all takes me back,
It’s this that I miss,
And I still hate myself,
After all of these years,
I should have done better,
Let me make myself clear,
That I was wrong,
In the choices I made,
And if you to come back,
I won’t stand in your way.
