I am going to let you go now,
even though my heart holds on…
…my hands will not keep their grasp any longer-
- For they cannot,
As time passes by I let it go – slipping through my fingers like sand…
…and you are carried with it, dear friend;
Oh, but the feeling, how it remains-
My heart is as stubborn as ever,
Dear friend,
My eyes too, now circled with the dust of passing years,
They continue to search for you-
Wherever I go, I still scan the crowd –
For your face alone
Your eyes,
the ones that glimmered with the greatest of stars –
I cannot forget! O, the endless regret!
But I will never impact on your freedom,
I promise –
With something stronger than even my longing;
I am letting you go-
You are well and truly free, my friend,
May your life lead you to your dreams -
While I only dream of your happiness,
- May all of yours come true.

I really like this poem. Especially the line; "My eyes too, now circled with the dust of passing years..."
I think you have potential, and if you really like poetry you should keep trying. This is very nice!
