Loving you was one of the easiest things I’ve ever done
I guess that’s why letting you go hurts so bad
Like I’m being forced to get rid of my better half
A half I never even knew existed before we met
What would they say 16 in love?
No, you’re crazy too young to even live a little
What would you know of love?
To have someone hold your hand and be aware that their fingers were crafted to fit perfectly in
yours
To completely light up at just the sound of their name
To be so lost in them and forget that time moves on for everyone while in the moment all comes
to a stop
To know that sometimes the best thing you can do for them is let them go…
I hate that this is what it comes to but with all honesty we both knew
We knew we wouldn’t last and I’d hate to say we were just a phase
But we watched each other suffocate under the other person’s grasp
Knowing the danger and yet we pressed on thinking things would be different
Every couple believes that they can outrun the timer that starts on their relationship
Romeo and Juliet did it and so can we
Such optimism
Such hope
Those dreamers don’t last long
Their hearts broken
Put everything on the line and now they’re left wide open
With a rich man’s handful of shoulda, coulda, woulda’s
So I ask you now please
Don’t ever say I didn’t love you because I walked away
I knew doing it would help you thrive
I wanted you to do more than just barely survive
I part with you with just one wish
The next girl you find you owe her this: don’t let her go
