What do you do when he wants to leave?
What do you do when he says it's not you he's looking for?
When he tells you he will always be there for you,
Then leaves?
Do you strap him down so he never leaves?
Do you beg?
Do you plead?
What did I do?
Nothing,
Absolutely Nothing
I watched as he told me I wasn't the one for him,
Listened as he fumbled over his words.
Wanting to comfort him but knowing it would make the break harder.
Listened as he told me "we will always be friends",
As he told me I was beautiful, but not for him.
Trembling from the cold that suddenly became a welcome friend,
Embraced him before he left knowing it would be the last.
My heart screaming in protest, ripped in half by the one who made me whole.
I couldn't hurt him by telling him what I was thinking.
I held all of the memories I had with him,
Clenching them with white knuckles.
Reluctant to let them go,
Reluctant to let him go.
I let him leave....
