Please Go
Please Go
I told you it was ok to go
but you stayed around anyway
so close that the pain became unbearable
and seized my existence day by day
I needed you to go and not stand so close
There are many beautiful places where you can be
Go. Go and soar freely among the moon and the stars
Or sit on a mountaintop and look out over the sea
Go and stay away long enough for me to heal
when you come back around again, I’ll feel your touch
as sweet memories of you will make me smile
Just don’t stand too close. It will hurt too much.
