She Loves Me

I have tried
But no matter how many showers
Or storms I stand beneath
I cannot wash away
These memories 
You have given me

I couldn’t find 
The right words to say
As you turned and left
While in my head
The words you used
“I love you, but I have to go”
Had me speechless
I just couldn’t understand
That kind of love?

You always told me
That we were a puzzle
That fit perfectly together
Yet this type
Of perfect love
I can live without

You had me believing
That each of us 
Was what the other wanted
Until today 

But now
As I watch you
Walking away 
I think to myself

Isn’t it nice to know
That even though
She had to go
She still loves me
