I am here
As you replay
Her smile
Over and over
Like I did yours
The first time we met.

I listen as your heart races
I sense pieces begin slowly mending.
I feel the guilt radiating off of you
For having those feelings
You feel like it's betraying me.

I wish you knew
All I want is your happiness.
If there was a way to tell you
It's okay to move on
I would
Because maybe it's time for me
To go too.

It hurts
Knowing you may forger me soon
But it hurts more to know
You are unhappy.
I would much rather have
The less of two pains
Your happiness
Would outweigh them
Any day
Because
Deep down I know
That if what we had was real
And our love was strong
Then your heart will never forget me
Even if your mind does.

I love you
I always will
No matter where I go next
I realize that.
Your pain will eventually fade
And you will love again
And you will love her with your whole heart
Just like you loved me
And just knowing that
Makes me content.
