Walking Away

I was walking down the street one day
when his eyes suddenly caught my way.

My heart started to pound so fast
but, I've always known our love won't last.

I remembered the times he held me tight
and promised me everything would be all right.

I can see the sadness in his eyes
Remembering the day we said our good byes.

As he looked at me, tears fell to the ground
but, when I looked up he wasn't around.

As much as I wanted for him to stay
I then realized that I must walk away.
