Surrendering Desire

Folder: 
08. Tough Choices

Though it hurts me,
I must say goodbye.
Goodbye to my happiness
and goodbye to all my dreams.
Your sister is right,
you and I could never be.
You're so far away.
It's impossible to see you.
I can't believe what she says.
If I do, I will die.
Her truthful words
cut into my soul like a whip
in thousands of fiery lashes.
If only I could be there with you
then things could change.
It hurts me inside to have to let you go.
You are my world
and I love you dearly.
But what if she is right?
Then I am holding you back.
Keeping you from finding
someone...real.
All I want is your happiness.
And for that I would sacrifice all.
Even if that means
Not having you.
I can't stop the tears
from pouring from my eyes.
Gods, how it's hurting
to whisper these words.
But say them I must.
Goodbye my love.
Take care of yourself.
In my heart, I still love you.
You know I'll love you,
For the rest of my life.
But your sister is right.
We are from two different worlds
and it can never be real.
Though to me..
it WAS real.
