Today you finally spoke of her,
That’s when I came to see
That she was everything to you
That I could never be.
It came as no surprise to me
I knew I’d not compare
But when you cried the whole day through,
It was more than I could bare.
I wished that I could hold you
And take away your pain
But you pulled yourself away from me,
It was then my heart was slain.
You told me how you missed her
and it broke my heart in two
To see you feeling so much pain
When there’s nothing I can do.
And then I finally realized,
You were asking me for space
You never spoke those words to me
But I read it on your face.
That’s when my tears came flowing
Harder than they were before,
Because I knew the time had come
For you to close the door.
I said I’d wait forever
Then I gave you one last kiss
and I prayed that there would come a day
When it’s me that you will miss.
