Your Choice

When you pull away from me
 I get scared and I want to stop you
 When you go away from me
 I feel sad and like we’re through

 I know I have to let you fly
 I know you need your space to be a man
 I know that without you I will not die
 I know I must go inside and make other plans

 I miss you and the look upon your face
 I miss your laughter and your voice
 Your smell disappears without a trace
 If you come back to me, it’s still your choice
