Just go.

I am going to let you go now,

even though my heart holds on…

…my hands will not keep their grasp any longer-

- For they cannot,

As time passes by I let it go – slipping through my fingers like sand…

…and you are carried with it, dear friend;

Oh, but the feeling, how it remains-

My heart is as stubborn as ever,

Dear friend,

My eyes too, now circled with the dust of passing years,

They continue to search for you-

Wherever I go, I still scan the crowd –

For your face alone

Your eyes,

the ones that glimmered with the greatest of stars –

I cannot forget! O, the endless regret!

But I will never impact on your freedom,

I promise –

With something stronger than even my longing;

I am letting you go-

You are well and truly free, my friend,

May your life lead you to your dreams -

While I only dream of your happiness,

- May all of yours come true.
