I've made a decision;
Although,
It pierces my heart;
Like a knife.

Perhaps it is better;
If I'm no longer,
In your life.

Like a fading memory;
From your mind.

Maybe I'm another thing;
Better left behind.

I'm releasing you from;
Any obligation you feel,
To love me.

Feel no guilt;
I'm setting you free.

Our time is gone;
It's in the past.
Perhaps back then;
Our love would last.

But, when my soul breaks.
And my heart stands still.

I can't make you love me;
Against your will.

When days and weeks go by;
And you don't contact me in any way.

Do you feel the loss;
Or long for me today?

It seems so easy for you;
To forget I'm here.

So the reality seems;
All too clear.
I should let you go;
Just let you forget.
Before this love;
You soon regret.

Now if I could only;
convince myself.

Our love was better left;
On an old memories shelf.
