My Last

I know your heart is breaking but I still have to leave. I see how your hands are shaking but now they can't persuade me. Though you may not see it now, I know it's the healthy choice. Don't worry because as time moves on you will loose the memory of my voice. It hurts to turn my back but I know I must say good-bye. I can't let you see these tears, as pieces inside me die. Tell me how did this all happen. I can't figure out what went wrong. Whe did we start hurting one another. Or was it happening all along. Like you I feel all this pain and sorrow. Still we must move on. Your brighter future lies in tomorrow. You will see that soon after I'm gone. I wish i could remember the good times. The ones now shadowed in the past. I can't believe this has happened, I thought you would be my last. I want to see you happy, but I know that can't be with me. We have worn out each other for so long, make ours hearts break and bleed. Look at me one last time before I break and cry. I see all the beauty that surrounds you, it lets me know that you will be alright
