Just Afraid of Goodbye

weeks go by
and i still haven't done it
haven't said those words
haven't let go

weeks have gone by
with these thoughts haunting my mind
friends ask, and i say no
they give me that look
but they just don't know

but then again neither do i
i don't know why i cant say goodbye
why cant i end this dead end relationship
before it hurts me more

do i like the pain?
or am i too afraid to go
too afraid to say no to my hungry heart
too afraid to leave the one thing i had never had before
but desired so much
too afraid to have to try again

i am afraid to say goodbye
even though i know i should
its the best thing for both of us
because together it just doesn't work

we should move on
leave this in the past
but i'm just too afraid
and desperate
to leave you behind
with just a goodbye
