The tears from my eyes fall,
like the trees shed their leaves in the fall on a windy day.
And just like the breeze sends a chill up and down your spine,
My sadness does the same
I have pondered deeply for a very long time on what I should do
Should I just be content for the rest of my life or
Should I try and move on and build a new life for myself without you
No matter which path I choose
Neither will be an easy one
Learning to live without you
Learning to survive on my own again
Not feeling the protection of a man in my life
Many, many things have weighed on my mind
But if I were to stay
Would it be for the right reasons?
I don't know if I am hurting you more by staying?
Or if it would hurt you more if I would go.
I know how you felt before
But how do you feel now
Will you find someone else to share your time with?
Will your heartache without me near?
No matter what I feel that I want
I don't want to hurt you in any way
I care
I don't know what it would be like without you
But still…
I want to go
If only I know all the answers
If we could see into the future
If I could read your mind
Unfortunately I cannot
So I am left wondering
Do you still love me the way you once did
Do you still want me just like back then?
Or is this the beginning
Of the end?
