I long for the courage to leave it all behind,
To walk away and clear my mind,
But I'm paralyzed by the thought,
That you won't chase me, as you ought.
The pain of leaving is hard to bear,
But the pain of staying, even harder to share,
For I know deep down in my heart,
That we're slowly drifting apart.
The love we shared once burns low,
And the embers of our passion barely glow,
But the thought of losing you still stings,
And the fear of moving on, it brings.
I wish you'd come after me, fight for our love,
Show me we're still worth it, like a sign from above,
But the reality is, you may not,
And the thought of it, fills me with distraught.
So I stay, afraid to let go,
Hoping somehow our love will grow,
But I know in my heart, it's time to move on,
To find the strength to break free and be strong.
I wish I had the guts to walk away,
To start anew and seize the day,
But I'll find the courage, in due time,
To leave the past behind and truly shine.
