Let You Go

This is the first time that I've missed since I left your place

I didn’t know then what I know now

Honest trying, I ain’t lying

The little we talk these days

Like a wallet worn picture that fades out after time

The longer it’s been nostalgia tends to trickle in

Take the wheel for a while

I’m learning to let you go

But I’m only as strong

As skin, as blood, as bone

You look like a fox in my memory

With your lovely face

Strategically speckled eyes but not contrived in your strange

And subtle ways

Though you form to fit the mold of anyone that you hold close

It ain’t necessary going out your way to carry

Whatever pleases the host

Playing tricks

I’m mad at myself again

But I’ve learned what sticks

I’m learning to let you go

But I’m only as strong

As skin, as blood, as bone
