Drop

When you hit the fork in the road, and you have no choice but to walk away from one you love, even if it only feels like you're doing it to spare this loved one some pain.

You let go. I hold on.

The waits forever, its been too long.

Your pain? My gain? And decadence, 

And then theres 'Us', what common sense?

 

What is, isn't always what it seems,

No black lies here, and no moonbeams,

But latently the care resides,

Holding loose, 'mid unseen sighs.

 

Letting go, drifting away,

For now theres nothing more to say.

As inches grow to miles, we play

Another game, another day.

 

No such thing as selflessness,

For you? For me? Still selfishness.

Wish the sunrise brings for you

New love anew, old faith renew.

 

Perhaps the day will come again

An hour without me brings you pain

And when theres nothing left to lose,

To sit beside me you might choose.

 

I'll wait, so late, its dawn at last.

Expectations, and all are past.

Your hand back in my hand, for when

I let go, you came back again.

So hopeful, not even a little bitterness here. I love the lines
"But latently the care resides,
Holding loose, 'mid unseen sighs."--That's the only way my friend, to let go in the hope that time may take a u-turn and bring back some moments if that is destined.

at least i am reading some lines to bring lover on board (Perhaps the day will come again

An hour without me brings you pain) still, here u re hoping , what about saying words to bring him back
most what i ve read here was from injured birds crying form theirs wounds, in urs i ve found something new.

[Adam :P]

very well worded, i like it!

[Sarah McConnaughey]

The best way to discover if something is truly yours is to let it go and see if it comes back.

This is a great poem and beautifully worded, although there's a lack of punctuation where needed.

[Poeticpiers]

Sometimes you must decide to either walk away or let him/her walk away. Love is only yours when given freedom to choose.
I enjoyed the read

Your rhyming is pretty regular but you meter still needs tautening up to achieve the smoothness which makes ir roll off the tongue
