I'm Not Strong

Because of my weakness I bid you goodbye,
If I said that was strength, I'd be telling a lie.
What would be strength would be to try to hold on,
But I let go and now you are gone.
You delighted me with your words so sweet,
But I let them go because I couldn't keep
Pretending that this would go anywhere.
I wouldn't let it because I was too scared.
And now you are gone and everyone's wrong.
I didn't let you go because I was strong.
