Letting Go Of Sweetness
© Stanley Bellgard, Felicito Guerrero 2023

You used to call me sweetheart and text me right away
First thing every morning, a fine start to my day
Now the phone has gone silent, and the point is very clear
I am no longer needed. I am no longer dear

I'm letting go of sweetness, not a choice I made.
No longer in your universe, I wish I could have stayed.
Letting go of sweetness, tasting bitterness.
Struggling with mem'ries I need to forget.

Thinking back to Valentine's when you sent me a rose
And your note with loving words, mistaken, I suppose.
What happened to the friendship? What made you walk away?
I miss being your sweetheart. How I wish I could have stayed.

I'm letting go of sweetness, not a choice I made.
No longer in your universe, I wish I could have stayed.
Letting go of sweetness, tasting bitterness.
Struggling with mem'ries I need to forget.

Love is lost, vision blurred, my heart feels the sting.
Chilly nights, falling rain, a phone that never rings.

I'm letting go of sweetness, not a choice I made.
No longer in your universe, I wish I could have stayed.
Letting go of sweetness, tasting bitterness.
Struggling with mem'ries I need to forget.
I miss being your sweetheart.
How I wish I could forget.
