Loss

As I feel you recede, like I knew that you would
I do not feel completion or anything good 
I just feel loss.

In the back of my mind I had known all along
That in order to help you live happy and long
I would have to let go.

Knowing soon you will turn to the heart of another
As I hang on in stasis and maybe recover
'Cause you are my soundboard, my twin and my lover
And I have no right to feel jealous, or smother
Your life with a blanket of fleeting false hope,
I'm already taken, a rat on a rope. 

One day we might even forget what it was
That magical force that has dignified us
Without our protection I fear it might pass
From garden of eden to paradise lost.
Sorry my love
