My Horrible Mistake

"If you want to leave
Go right ahead
I won't be in your way,"
I said

My horrible mistake
Was letting him leave
He was my biggest goal
I failed to achieve

If I had just told him to stay
Then he'd still be here
Whispering all these amazing things
In my right ear

With him around
Things felt right
With him gone
I can't sleep at night

Now I can't reach him
He left so far away
But if he was here
I'd say,

"Baby come back,
I made a mistake letting you go
Hold me in your arms
And my love; I'll show"

In a dream he turned to me
And smiled with a spark in his eye
Getting my hopes up as he said,
"Goodbye"
