Embrace and Release

When you love someone it’s not a lease
You aren’t bound you can release
Life is not some kind of race
Contracts don’t form from an embrace
In fact, the opposite is true
You are not stuck like glue
It is not a game, a contest or race
There are no rules to an embrace
No straight lines, there is no crease
Sometimes you must stop and release
Now release does not mean let go forever
In fact it can mean you’ll let go “never”
You have to follow your heart and mind
Sometimes you may feel left behind
Into things try not to read
You heart may hurt but it won’t bleed
Remember even lovers need their space
So
    Hold tight,
                     release
                                and 
                                      embrace
