Tonight I stood before you,
Trembling at the knees,
A lump in my throat as I swallowed,
Nervous as can be,
Hesitant, should I stay or should I go,
Should I go through with this,
Or run home to hide,
I need to push on with clenched fists,
Angry at you, no clue why,
You just dropped this on me in an instant,
Shocked me and through me off the track I finally found,
I wish I wasn't in existence,
My heart hurt, and my eyes stung,
My body shook and I know you could tell,
I knew you could see I wasn't myself,
All I wanted to do was cry and yell,
No warm greeting did you receive,
No hug, not even a hand shake,
You also were distant and unsure,
What a team we did make,
I wanted to hug you,
Assure you things would be the same,
I tried so hard to move toward you,
But I never met my aim,
As I was about to leave,
I looked at your face,
The look I saw in your eyes,
As though you'd fallen from grace,
I decided to be brave,
Push my confusion aside,
So I held out my arms to you,
No longer could I hide,
I wasn't ready for a long goodbye,
So I tried to rush and depart,
But you held me close and tight,
As though if I left you'd fall apart,
Alas I had to go,
So away I flew,
We'll be OK and you'll find someone else,
I just hope she appreciates you as much as I do.
