The Myth from Her Lips (revised)

You should have let me go. No early morning phone call. No coffee the morning after. 

You should have let me go. I closed the past. You opened the future. You shuffled the cards of fate and denied destiny. You read the future you desired. 

You should have let me go. No choreographed conversation from behind a mask. No promise of Halcyon days. The truths of summers' past smolder in the ash of lies. The phoenix shall rise only to fall.

You should have let me go. Our love was magic and should have remained a memory. 

Years ago I gave you a conscience. Today you expect me to clear that conscience, and absolve you of your guilt.

I do not blame you for yesterday, but I do hold you accountable for today.

Today is tomorrow's yesterday. All will be forgiven in time. But, is time not an illusion, just like your guilt. I let it go, you need to let it go. All dissipates but my love will always remain.

I should now let your memory go. Goodbye...
