6-4-09 As The Day Draws Closer
Scottie Allman © 2009

As the day I dread draws closer,
My heartache grows each day.
I awake every morning,
Wishing the pain away.

I've lost my greatest treasure,
As I watch her walk away.
I go to sleep each evening,
Praying that she would stay.

I try to let her go
From my daily life
To give her the freedom that she craves
So she can find herself.

But how do you let someone go
From deep within your heart,
When you know that you have
Loved them from the start.
