Can’t Let You Go

You left me,
Even when I wanted you to stay,
And expected me to move on,
Within a day.
I want to have you back,
Yet I want to let you go,
Your words hurt me,
More than you know.
They tell me to move on,
Because that’s just how life will go,
They have no idea,
That I can’t let you go.
