I didn’t understand why he stayed by.
But now I want him to leave so I could save him.
His heart I didn’t know,
How he had deeply loved me all this time.
He loved me so much,
That I fear my heart would just burst from this happiness.
My selfishness would want him to stay,
Because my heart hungered for his love.
He’s always guarding me, now it’s my turn.
I need the strength to push him away.
I want him to go even if he hated me for it.
Please allow me to leave him with much happiness, so that
When the correct time for us to say our goodbyes,
This ending will be easier for us both.
There will be little regrets inside our heart,
And lots of love overflowing this sadness.
There will come times when little things will make us recall the past.
And here... our heart will ache a little.
But he must know... that this was real and it’s time to forget.
I will slowly brave forward,
Keeping his heart with me.
And even when it’s difficult for me to feel his love,
At least I know he’s safe and I’m ok with that.
