To Let Me Go

You tell me you love me.
Maybe it's true...
Or maybe you say it
Because you don't, but-
You just don't want to
Let me go, yet...

I tell you I love you.
I see that you 
Don't believe me...
Maybe you don't
Believe me since
You expect the words
To hold the same 
Meaning as when
You say them...
Do you think
You are that easy
To let go of?

But you know,
I'm scared that
When you do
Believe me,
You'll decide it's
Best to let me go
After all...
