Letting Go

Your heart never beat for me
The butterflies were only in me
You never saw the world in my eyes
When you looked at me
I saw my future, my love, my everything
But you just saw me,
staring back at you

I won't hold onto that last shred of hope
Because hope is for the weak
I'll throw you into the world
I can't protect you from scraped knees
Or broken hearts

If you don't need me, I'll walk away
I may even run, but I might look back
Don't tell me you ever missed me
When you didn't run after me

The hardest thing about loving you
Is knowing you can't feel the same
But I can let that go now,
And sometimes,
When you're in love,
You have to let go.
