Please let go

I screamed and yelled You sat there continuing to talk "I love you and always will" The last words I heard today A few weeks go by each with a visit Telling me about his day and his activities I watch you sit down against me I rub your head just like I always used to I start seeing him less The times I see him become vague It's been 1 month He says he misses me 6 months later he comes back Seems like these breaks only get longer He cries I cuddle him and try to give him warmth 1 year goes by Except this time is different He tells me he has a girlfriend I congratulate him and he drops to his knees "It'll be longer till I see you I'm sorry" 2 years go by except he now has a child And a girl that I don't recognize "This is my family" "Go wait in the car please I just need a word. This will be my last visit. I have a family I need to focus on now... Just wish it was the one I wanted with you" I go to him and sit down with him "It's ok my love, you need to move on I'm so happy for you" He opens his mouth to speak but no words "I love you forever..." He says "I love you always..." I respond He leaves a rose at my grave and leaves I can finally rest in peace now
