Selfish

Sorry I had to leave

Can’t promise I’ll come back

I know it’s selfish of me

I can’t help it

Things moved too fast

Memories choke me

They stain my pillow

Remember how we used to be?

Tracing tear stains

Stand in the rain to hide the pain

Are my apologies enough?

Never thought I’d leave

Flooded with emotion

Yesterday I tried to see the point in staying

Blurry vision

Thoughts too far gone

This has gone far enough

As bad as I want you to be here with me

It’s best to leave you behind

Or did you let me go?

Time was on our side

Would you believe that I love you?

Despite my actions

Believe me its true

I write these words

Instead of reaching for you at night

It’s the fact that I thought I was holding you back

I just needed to disappear

My dreams cry for you

If I could turn it back

I wouldn’t know you

I would have never whispered my name

Save you the shame

Prevent the hurt

I’m sorry but I had to leave

Can’t say I’ll come back

I know its selfish of me
