though you are not here next to me
i smell your sweetness still
sometimes i wish it wasn't so
and you hadn't made that choice to go
but what you've done is best, i know
my heart still beats your rhythm
i can still feel your hands in mine
and taste all those tears you cried
its hard to admit those three words
call it anything but absurd
i loved you, i really did
your essence spells my poetry
there are no feelings to tell what you've done to me
lied and betrayed me
forgiveness is yours
do with it what eases your oars
oh how i wish you'd come back to my shores
the light you radiated
was warm and i needed it
selfishness wanted to keep it
the road you chose
is different from the way mine goes
i wish to follow you, but that i cannot do
though you are long gone
i think what it is i've done wrong
as i try to keep my pieces strong
your words are all thats left
i reread them as to not leave them to dust
for remember you i must.
i wish time would reverse
so those goodbye's i could rehearse
and we could say hello first
sometimes its easier to hold on
and others it is easier to let go
but you're free now, so go on.
your free now.
