You kept on walking away from me,
And the memories we made.
I watched you grow more distant…
I watched our friendship fade.
I wiped away my tears for you.
I knew they would hurt you to see.
I tried to keep a brave face on
So that you wouldn’t feel guilty.
The fire that once burned in my heart
Smouldered to just a flame.
Now I keep the hope alive;
That you would return to me again.
But find myself holding on..
You’ll have to push me far away
If you truly want me gone.
