Hard to Say Goodbye to You

My eyes burn from the tears that I have cried

My Heart bleeds from the hurt I feel inside

I watch him walk away, I close the door.

This goodbye was harder than before.

It was the last thing I wanted to say.

I never wanted it to be this way.

The tears I cry just fall and fall

To tell him to leave wasn't my plan at all

I wanted him to grab me and tell me he didn't want to go

I wanted to hear him say things would be ok, but he didn't know.

So I let him go, I set him free

Hoping one day he'll come back to me.

And maybe by then it will be too late.

I cannot let my paper heart idle and wait.

In such a short time. there are such happy memories

I'll miss your smile, your eyes, that I love to tease.

The way you'd wrap your arms around me.

Holding me so tightly.

The heat that we both felt, your kiss...

All of these I will miss

But to protect my weakened heart from bleeding even more

I have to shut this door.
