A Girl in a Forgetful World

Let Me Go

I sit here,

Listening to a sad song,

Thinking I'm alone

Even when everyone says I'm not.

I look at the smiling pictures,

The good intentions we had.

My tears are now dry,

But my heart hasn't stopped bleeding.

I want to be with you even more,

But I know that I can't.

I was the one that left...

I left the smiles,

The laughter,

The light kisses on cheeks,

And the late night 'love you'.

I thought you were the one...

You were supposed to be the one.

I don't understand where we went wrong.

Maybe it was me.

You don't want to lose me,

But if you can't love me, 

Let me go.

If you can't handle these tears,

Let me go.

I know I left you,

And I know I love you,

But you've been so distant,

So careless,

Balancing my emotions

Like plates and silverware.

If you dropped one 

And broke it,

You'd sweep it up quickly

To stop the spread,

And leave it in the trash.

If you can't love me,

Don't make me stay.

You promised you wouldn't leave me,

You told me you would be here

Always.

But now you're gone...

Always.

If you can't love me,

Please let me go.

Let me go on adventures,

And find someone new.

I can't blame you, really.

I wouldn't want my mess too.

But someone out there,

Someone I need to find will.

They will love me,

They will let me be free,

They will let me be me.

If you can't love me,

If you can't understand me,

If you can't even try...

Let me go.
