Do not feel sad to let me go.
you have to go your way.

our times together were happy ones
and days of sorrow too
we laughed and cried and enjoyed
our many precious years

but time moves on and you did too
without a backward glance
you chose to tread another path
which had no space for me.

fill not your heart with deep regret
despondency or grief
for you did what you had to do
and depart the way you did.

New memories will fill your heart
which once were filled with mine
and you will soon
forget
those days
and all you left behind.

Do not feel sad to let me go.
you had to go your way.
