LETTING GO... WHILE HOLDING ON

Folder: 
Love



As I walked away, I heard you cry.

I felt the pain as I breathed and sighed.



I wanted to hug you as I pushed you away,

Hoping you would leave and, yet, wanting you to stay.



You did not understand... and neither do I.

I need you to be here, I cannot say good-bye.



I see you when you are near; I miss you when you are far.

I think about you during the day and underneath the stars.



People say harsh things and I try not to believe,

But I feel the doubt behind me when I see the things I see.



The things you say can make me melt.

It is hard to walk away from the things I felt.



I know this is hard and I do not mean to be,

I promise you are not alone... the pain is also with me.



I do not mean to be selfish, I just don't know why.

I need you as a friend, not just another guy.



Please do not be upset with me, I will grow up someday soon.

Maybe that bright day it will be just you and me.
