Letting go

It's been a while
since I have truly saw you smile
the glow disappeared from your eyes
and hanging around is not my style

it is obvious I am not the only one
I deserve more than the pain I am receiving
baby, let's face the truth
are you desperate for leaving?

Do not say you love me.
I was just a stop along your way.
Do not justify it with false statements,
I know you do not want to stay.

I am not going to lie,
or pretend I am okay.
Letting go is hard,
but I am giving you your way.

I can not go through another day
with all this pain and swollen eyes.
Despite my love for you,
holding on would be unwise.

Just know one thing
I love you, I loved you all along
I thought this was real
and would continue to hold strong.

Now, I am growing distance in my heart.
I know it is my fault.
I some how allowed us to fall apart,
and now our love is at a halt.

I am disappearing from your life
just like our love left your heart.
I am going to be stronger,
and never again will I be torn apart.
