Lucy M. Young

If you really love me let me go.
Let me be free to think and feel
And be my own unique and special person.
Hold me not so tightly
That my hopes and dreams are smothered
By your possessive love.
Set me free.
If I do not return to you
'Twas never meant to be;
But if I do,
Love me deeply, trustingly,
And I will rest forever
Close to your heart.
