Courage

I told myself I'd be okay
I could live without you
I was wrong
I couldn't survive the day.
It was so long when you were away.

You asked me
would I be alright.
I laughed in your face
But on my own I cried
Convincing myself it was only one night.
Knowing deep down I should have tried.

We are together now and then
it's not enough
it's just not fair.
I love you with all my heart
But we are forced to remain apart.
it's not enough
it's just not fair
I need you every day, but can't ask you to be there.
