Letting go of what you love

When you let go of what you love it always comes back.

No need to chase it. When the time is right it always runs back.

You have to release it from a tightened grip.

Let go of the fear that it’ll get away and might just slip.

Hold that of which you love with a lightened grip.

The passion that holds a special place in your heart will come for you.

That person you love is set free to reappear right in front of you.

A great lesson to learn for that which is meant for you won’t burn.

Let go of what you love and it will always return.
