Leave it behind
If it meant something why did you walk away?
If you had it why did you throw it away?
If you said it was real, why did you leave it behind?
If it was something you couldn’t live without, why did you walk out?
Why do you do this to yourself? Too scared to love you take the shortcut,
You rather walk away from something that could have been,
Than to stay and feel something that would have been,
I\'ll say it repeatedly,
I don’t love you,
But really, I did. That’s why I had to let go.
I cried when I walked out,
Wishing I could just let you in,
My heart felt heavy,
I couldn’t breathe,
My heart dropped when I heard your name,
But, I guess it was the coward in me,
It was too easy to walk away,
Then to love,
So, I walked out the door like I always do,
With a smile, but really, I was broke inside,
Knowing I wasn’t going to call instead,
I walked away,
Hoping you will fall in love with someone that can love you,
As much as I truly did,
Today I will think of you,
Like I did yesterday,
And probably for the rest of my life,
I wish I could have told you,
I loved you,
I wish I could have said it that day,
But instead, I remember it,
Repeating like a song humming to the beat,
Now just a memory,
Today I saw him with her today,
Laughing,
in love,
I didn’t let him see me,
Just watch from a distance,
I knew I did what was right,
And today I walked,
Like I always do,
Humming to the beat of his name.
