[Verse 1]
Five years of loving you in silence,
Five years of holding on to fate,
You were my laughter in the morning,
My peace when the nights grew late.
Every moment felt like forever,
Every touch was heaven’s grace,
But dreams don’t always last forever,
When another takes my place.
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw her smile, and I knew right then,
You found a heart that beats for you again.
[Chorus]
So I let you go, though it tore my soul,
You deserved a love that could make you whole.
I gave you wings so you could fly,
Even if it meant goodbye.
Now every night, I close my eyes and see,
The man of my dreams walking away from me.
[Verse 2]
I tried to work, I tried to sleep,
But you haunt the hours I try to keep.
My friends, they still remember your name,
My family loved you just the same.
You were gentle, you were kind,
A quiet storm, a heart refined.
And though you’re hers, you still find time,
To show that I was once your light.
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I’ll always be a part of you,
A past you’ll keep, a love that’s true.
[Chorus]
So I let you go, though it tore my soul,
You deserved a love that could make you whole.
I gave you wings so you could fly,
Even if it meant goodbye.
Now every night, I close my eyes and see,
The man of my dreams walking away from me.
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll hear this song,
And feel the love that still lives on.
Though years have passed and time’s unkind,
You’ll always live inside my mind.
I thank you for the love we knew,
For teaching me what hearts go through.
[Final Chorus]
And I let you go, but I’ll never forget,
The sweetest soul my heart has met.
If love was pain, then I’d still choose you,
‘Cause letting go was loving too.
And even now, when I can’t sleep,
You’re the man of my dreams — forever to keep.
[Outro]
He’s the man of my dreams…
Forever… my history, my heart’s memory.
Even if love had to set him free.
