Regretful Goodbye

I let you go, hiding my tears Lying to myself through all the years Your shadow lingers, your voice fades But my heart remains in the love we made You're gone, your smile no longer near Yet I'll remember all we held dear I gave you pain too deep to heal Now I know how regret feels Even if I want to speak your name I know I've lost that right, my claim You held me strong, gave me light But I left you with endless night You're gone, but I still dream of you With every wish, my love stays true Though I hurt you, though I fell Forever, I'll love you in my farewell
