Let go

It hurts to let go but , It hurts more to hold on Let the past be the past And the future be bright Leave behind the sorrows Let go of yesterday's pain For the future holds promise If you choose to remain The past is a place of reference , not a place of residence , The past is a place of learning , not a place of living You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the old one The past has no power over the present moment It hurts to let go but Like a flower plucked from the soil But the weight of holding on is a greater toil Take a breath , take a pause , And let time work it's grace , For in patience lies the beauty of life's perfect pace . You will heal once you let go of the pain that held you tight For within you , there's a light that shines bright and true Let the past become a memory , and present be your home . For healing comes with time , because time heals every wound And the courage to let go . come to the realization that some people are part of your history but not part of your destiny For letting go , you'll find A heart that's reborn .
