I should have let them know where I was and where I had been.

Too long did we keep the secret; I should have let them know.

Now down this path we’ve taken and I’m never to see you again.

Even though this is what I was told I will never let you go.



I should have let you meet my parents like you wanted.

You were almost arrested because I wanted an apropos

And now this moment I will forever be haunted

Since I wasn’t able to let you go.



You were such an impact in my life and on me.

I can’t watch you pass by without a ‘hello’.

I’m happy at least you were set free.

In my mind I will never let you go.



You took a piece of my life as I watched us depart.

This was probably a quid pro quo.

You have an immobile place deep in my heart.

I doubt I will ever let you go.



Since that accident you said you were a different man.

Your past is your past your friends even said so.

I wanted to be apart of your new life’s plan.

Sometimes I wish I could let you go.



I tried not to look back as my parents took me away.

I held back my tears trying not to show.

Because everyone told me I was your prey.

Then why can I not let you go?



They said you were a predator and just wanted one thing.

I said I understood but I still don’t know.

I felt we had much more than a fling.

And I’m still trying to let you go.



Forbade talking to you.

To my family you are a foe.

Forbade because of taboo.

But I’m never letting you go.
