Don't Let Them Go.

When you stop letting them know,
You start to let them go.
And although slow,
They will eventually walk out the door
And you will be left feeling poor
Heart empty, soul sore
Wondering whether you've turned a bore
When you ask then if anything's wrong
They'll definitely say no.
But you know.
You let go,
When you stopped letting them know.

Tell them. Be open and tell them.
Every once in a while say it.
Remind them why they mean a lot
Remind them they're a blessing you caught
Keep them near, the ones you hold dear
We only live this one life here. 

I love you. I need you. You matter.
