Letting You Go

Life was never built to be easy.

But this life is the only one that I know.

I know that what I’m doing is right,

But I’m scared to hurt you in the process.

I’m sorry if I did hurt you.

But I couldn’t bear the pain

That took over me

From trying to protect you.

It hurts me to think

That what could have been

Will never occur at all

Because of me…

I have to respect your boundaries

And stop trying to save the day

Because in reality,

That’s never possible.

So, in conclusion,

I have to let you go

Even if it pains me

You’re better off with her.
