Letting Her Live His Life

I was never here for passing time, Never here for love denied. I thought we’d walk this road as one, But love has left me far behind. If I love you, how can I not break? When you are not mine to take. To watch you smile, yet stand apart, It slowly shatters my fragile heart. You say that friends we still can be, But love and friendship don’t agree. For what’s a friend when love runs deep, To stand and watch, yet never speak? I gave you all, my heart, my time, Yet love was never truly mine. I was just there—just one more name, But to me, you were my flame. I mattered not—I see it clear, Just words I held, just dreams too near. But now I go, I leave, I fade, No more a shadow in your shade. How lucky are the ones who stay, Who hold your light, who share your way. But I must leave, I won’t pretend— I can't be "just" a friend. I take my feelings, take my pain, And whisper softly in the rain. No more wishes, no more fight, Just letting you live your life.
